About The Performer 

The dynamic and multifaceted Kim Trusty is a powerful and diverse  vocalist, songwriter, guitarist and actress. Kim draws on jazz, rhythm & blues, vocal improvisation, roots, rock and undemanding lyrics, bringing her life, heart and work experiences into unforgettable and unique performances.

"a performer who can capture a stage sitting still."
    - J Seavor, Providence Journal  

“Trusty's Sweet Novena CD well worth the wait. This CD has been long in the making, and it's a stone cold winner. Think Tracy Chapman and give her twice the power, twice the silk and three times the range. Yeah, that's what I said.”
 - Rick Massimo, Providence Journal Music Scene 

This program is made possible with help from the Robert Danforth Watkins Fund for Lifelong Learning.
