The Houston native has performed all genres of music in her career, everything from folk and country to R&B and rock to heavy metal.
With Houston metal band Bad Heaven, Sanders would rock the house and drew accolades from touring musicians when her group got to open for the likes of metal shredders Megadeth and Metal Church.
She has been featured on the Houston Chronicle’s local music website Hand Stamp.
Her debut album Riches to Rags includes sweeping orchestrations and arrangements that she created, especially lush vocal harmonies on both the ballads and the rockers.

His songs are full of themes that are common to us all and link the human condition to a higher purpose. He performs with the punch of a modern day prophet, displaying a fury in his live shows that will make even the cynical believe.

MIKE DARNELL
Perhaps my music could best be described as “the flues”, an amalgamation of folk and blues.
I was weaned on the folk/rock music of the ‘60’s and bands like Buffalo Springfield and The Byrds.
The blues and roots music has become a heavy influence in the more recent years. I incorporate
guitar, mandolin, harmonica and percussion into a blend of ballads and blues, mostly original but
occasionally some traditional and classic covers.
STEVE PRICE
“Steve’s excellent lyrics lead you down life’s paths of reckless abandon, somehow adding a little
sound advice along the way. One certainty is you know he’s had a broken heart and lived to write
about it.” Wrecks Bell, musician and owner, Old Quarter Acoustic Café, Galveston, TX.“Steve Price
has a solid sense of the singer/songwriter tradition. In his songs, hecontinues the legacy of this
heroes: Kristofferson, Shaver, and Van Zandt.” Jack Saunders, musician and owner, White Cat
Recording Studio, Houston, TX.

Kim Saltzmann
photo by Angela La Monte
Kim Saltzmann found her own voice in her late twenties. After marriage and early motherhood she knew it was time to open it up and let it bleed. She picked up her guitar and on that day she wrote Blind Girl. This haunting song is about the shedding of old struggles and the reclaiming of one's own life.
She is a true unplugged, acoustic artist. What separates her from the rest is a built –in amplifier. Hers is a voice that invites us to feel… that reaches into the soul of her audience and pulls out emotions that run deep, and awakens those that lie dormant.
While currently working on her first cd she continues to play at coffee houses, festivals, art shows, fundraisers, private parties, house concerts, artist markets and open mics. If you'd like to book Kim for your next show, party or event, you can contact her at ksaltzmann@hotmail.com
