Join Nancy J. Reid and Lisa D. Smith, the mother-daughter travel team and publishers of Big Blend Magazines, for a Big Blend Radio conversation with international violinist and singer-songwriter Kimia Penton, who discusses her world travels, music and latest album, ‘Where the Rain Falls.’ As a recording and touring artist, songwriter, and classical violinist, Kimia uses her music to explore the common themes we share on life’s journey.

‘Where the Rain Falls’ is a soulful and sophisticated celebration of self-compassion, authenticity, emotional healing, and fearless femininity. Kimia’s poignant and relatable lyrics and heartfelt vocals are inspired by her broad cultural background and reveal resonant themes of bravery. Kimia produced ‘Where the Rain Falls’ alongside guitarist, co-producer, and co-writer Kelyn Crapp. The pair shares a self-described “nerdy” love of classical music, jazz, and literature.
