KIM'S INFO
Can't help it --- I'm a Gemini!
Kim Dietz is the lead and a lyricist and vocalist for Her etc. band. She also dabbles in ukelele, guitar, and percussion. The Her etc. band is Kim's creation to showcase original works by a Gemini who just can't stop creating.
Kim began singing in and sometimes as her church choir in the tiny hamlet of Thornhurst, Pennsylvania. She was an alto in her middle school, high school, and college choir. Kim expanded into singer/songwriter roles beginning in 2000 when she began collaborating with Jeff Crookall, at that time -- a sound engineer at Triad recording studio.
Kim and Jeff worked with Steve Rush and their great friend and flautist, Effie in the band Bouncing Love Monkey for a short period.
Kim also supports Jeff's random bands such as Gutter Splash, Sniff the Stiff Kitty, and whatever comes to his mind. She is the lead producer of the Bulldog Sessions podcast.
