Tom Kimmel at 9th Annual Writers Conference, Calhoun College, Decatur, AL

Posted: Apr 14, 2010

I just returned from a long weekend in the Crescent City, but I don't plan to miss the annual writers conference on Thursday, April 15, at Calhoun Community College near Decatur, Alabama. The featured speaker  singer/songwriter Tom Kimmel  will be presenting at 9 a.m. and again at 7 p.m. in the Aerospace Training Center Auditorium on the Calhoun College campus.

Kimmel, who was born in Memphis and grew up in rural south Alabama, is the author of The Sweetest and the Meanest. His music, poetry, and stories invite his listeners toward a sweet introspection, making for a curious depth of feeling that often surprises them.

He is one of those unique singer-songwriters whose heartfelt artistry with words and music is both genre-crossing and timeless. Many of his compositions have been covered by a host of major artists including Linda Ronstadt, Johnny Cash, Joe Cocker, Shawn Colvin, Waylon Jennings, the Stray Cats, Randy Travis, and the Spinners.

Kimmel grew up in rural south Alabama and is a graduate of the University of Alabama.

Stay tuned to Swampland for a recap of the conference and all the details about  my fabulous weekend in the Big Easy.
