Featured in the pages of Rolling Stone, Spin, Guitar Player and Musician magazines, John Kimbrough has become known as much for his musical versatility as he has for his unique sound and style.

After five records and extensive touring as the frontman and creative force behind the band Walt Mink, John decided to branch out, and in recent years has devoted much of his time to scoring for film, T.V. and radio. In 2000 he won an Emmy Award in the category of Outstanding Music and Lyrics for his song "Up to You" from the show "Nickellennium" for Nickelodeon, and in 2001 he was nominated for a British Independent Film Award for best original score for the film "Jump Tomorrow". .

His songs have been featured in both movies and T.V. commercials, and his compositions can frequently be heard on the nationally syndicated NPR program, "This American Life". In 2005 his new band, Valley Lodge, released their first record, songs from which were used in the FOX T.V. pilot "Pool Guys". The record has also seen airplay on nationally syndicated radio, including Adam Curry's top-rated weekly podcast. His latest film, "Election Day" opened in March 2007.
