Thankful

Kim Yarson is a singer/songwriter raised by her widowed mother in a little town in Trenton, NJ called Chambersburg. She remembers listening to rock-n-roll, disco and Duran Duran was her teenage obsession. She never had any formal musical training but can remember as a child really getting drawn into the lyric and music of a song and was really jealous of her brother Mike's guitar lessons. She wasn't really introduced to country music until her college days and fell in love with Nashville and songwriting after her first trip there in May of 1994. Her love affair with writing songs began at this time. Her lyrics come straight from her heart as she weaves truth, faith and love throughout her songs in a way that most people can relate. As a mother of two young sons, she no longer has time to contrive songs for the market, she currently writes songs that move instead. Spontaneous songwriting happens to her all the time while on jogs, at the beach, in her car and these are her best ideas that become her fan’s favorites. Yarson released her debut CD Satisfied on January 1st of 2009 to a very satisfied audience. Kim’s first release brought about the same fans repeatedly to her shows so she decided to begin recording her second CD Thankful in January of 2010. It has been a beautiful but tedious experience getting this CD together but I believe my time has come in this musical world. Thankful has brought about such a beautiful potpourri of 13 songs such as, “One Act of Love” written about a friend who donated money towards her music to “Where Did You Go” a song written about her recent miscarriage and then she goes into her fun side with "Make A Bridge", a song about getting over it. “I believe it is my duty as a songwriter to write songs that matter and that don’t drag people down but instead leave folks feeling hopeful” Yarson says about her songwriting. Along with the CD Thankful is Kim Yarson’s first music video of her song “Without A Trace” produced by Trenton film maker Jeremy Sypniewski and co-producer Michael Patty. This song is dedicated to the memory of Kim’s father who was killed by a drunk driver when she was four years old. “I really had the chance to grieve this loss in my adult self with this song and hope it heals others of their losses” Yarson states of her video. She wrote the song while walking along the beaches in LBI and returned to the beaches of LBI to shoot the video. “This music video was one of the best experiences of my life and I now release it to the world with a smile in my heart” Yarson says. She thanks her fans for fully funding this video on Kickstarter.com, an artist funded site. Kim invites you to be a fan of her music if you no longer want to be a victim of the human experience. If you want to feel empowered and connect with your higher self and become all you could ever imagine in this world. It is her wish to write and sing songs to paint hope and promote healing with one foot here on earth and one in heaven. Life is sometimes really hard but music can be very healing for the soul. Album Reviews: “This latest CD from Yarson delivers 13 compelling tracks all providing an interesting snapshot of an amazing artist with thought provoking lyrical wisdom and messages that are positive, passionate and extremely captivating. I like everything about Yarson. She’s truly an infectious artist that possesses a “Gold Standard” –look, sound, appeal, talent, vocal passion and presence. The pin drop moments are amazing, and her falsetto is to die for. Note for note, song for song, this cataloque is extremely likeable very much like the artist herself.” -Cyrus Rhodes from the Muse’s Muse- http://www.musesmuse.com/mrev-kimyarson-thankful.html "On her new CD 'Thankful,' Kim Yarson has put together a great collection that highlights her captivating vocals, with songs that are poetic, romantic and inspirational, with a touch of humor" -Mark Rogers of WSTW Radio Station in DE For more information on Kim's music www.kimyarson.com In the meantime, God bless!
