Seeking to explore music on all of its levels, Kimberly is especially interested in the history and progression of music, as well as its political role in society. But experiencing music live and in person is above all, her true passion.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-239608 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pr10.jpg\" alt=\" Kimberly Zesky\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" data-wp-pid=\"239608\" data-pin-nopin=\"nopin\" \/>In the summer of 2004, Kimberly was led to her first music festival and was deeply moved by its ability to unite, enliven, and inspire people.

In the past year she has covered shows in the <a href=\"https:\/\/nysmusic.com\/site\/category\/regions\/north-country\/\">North Country<\/a> region of the state and offers words on all different types of music.<\/p>\n<p>Some of her favorite bands include: Railroad Earth, <a href=\"http:\/\/moe.org\">moe<\/a>., Yonder Mountain String Band, String Cheese Incident, Driftwood, Sim Redmond Band, Rubblebucket, Beats Antique, Widespread Panic, Bob Dylan, Otis Redding, and Alison Krauss &amp; Union Station.
