About Dick:

“As the first generation greats in bluegrass music slowly but surely
leave this music in one way or another, I suspect they might derive comfort in the knowledge that the likes of Dick Kimmel have come forth to carry the torch.”  (Bluegrass Unlimited, November 1994)

 

Dick Kimmel – “The Ambassador of Bluegrass“ has been entertaining audiences for more than a half-century throughout North America and Europe.  In 2015, Dick performed across 9 time zones as he performed from Prague, Czech Republic to Coos Bay, Oregon.  He has opened for Bill Monroe and His Blue Grass Boys in Monroe’s homestate of Kentucky.  At that concert Bill Monroe actually came  out from backstage to listen to Dick’s unique version of Monroe’s “On and On.”  Dick has performed with such top artists as Del McCoury, Alan Munde, Becky Buller, and Hazel Dickens.  He has performed and recorded with his own bands, Dick Kimmel & Co, Mountain Grass, and The Wild Turkey Stringband and has been featured on more than 2-dozen recordings, which include 4 Dick Kimmel solo CDs.

The music of Dick Kimmel is firmly rooted within traditional bluegrass, folk, and old-time stringband music, genres where he excels as a performer as well as an historian, mentor, and teacher.  Dick regularly carries his music throughout North America and Europe as a solo performer, with his band Dick Kimmel & Co, and with various musical collaborations that includes The Alan Munde Trio and 4 duos where Dick stretches the boundaries of traditional music: Dick Kimmel & Adam Granger, Ian & Dick Kimmel, Dick Kimmel & Pamela Longtine, and Lori Jean with Dick Kimmel.
