Jaimsy Kennedy’s been singing and writing commercial jingles and songs professionally since her teens!
Her first radio spot (for “Ladies Choice Pickles”) was recorded at Capital Records in Los Angeles. Elektra Records produced her first demo in New York City the weekend of the Woodstock Festival. She has performed on film soundtracks for Disney Studios and MGM and has won several national awards for her songwriting. In her teens, she even appeared in an Elvis Presley movie: “The Trouble With Girls and How To Get In It.”
Jaimsy’s toured the United States in concert so often, she’s no longer sure where she’s been—but “it must be everywhere by now!” She’s been a back-up vocalist for Shirley Jones and Burl Ives and opening act for Lily Tomlin and Bill Cosby.
She loves to sing from the Great American Songbook—the steamy ballads and swinging melodies of the 30’s and 40’s—the love songs of Broadway—the folk song sing-alongs of the New Christy Minstrels and her own quirky little gems that make ‘em laugh.
Her production skills and vocalist chops have her in demand in recording studios from Los Angeles to Seattle. Musical and humorous, her live shows are favorites with audiences of all ages!
