BRT favorite Kim Trusty will perform in a full band setting as she sings songs from her new CD, “Blessed in All Things,” and revisits some past favorites. After studying songwriting at the Berklee College of Music in Boston where she was referred to as “the girl with the golden voice,” Trusty has spent the last three decades residing in Providence, crafting and branding her own style of Jazz, R&B, Blues and original music.

Trusty is also known for her work in the community working with kids from diverse backgrounds, teaching elementary school music, and primarily working with African Americans and Latinos. Trusty also helped start Providence’s first school for the Arts, Trinity Academy for the Performing Arts, which opened its doors in 2010. In doing so Trusty was awarded the YWCA’s Women of Achievement award, for outstanding arts education.
