Artist description Who’s That Girl?From an early age when Kim unwrapped her first “christmas” guitar her family knew she was destined to play and sing. Years later visitors were known to ask who that was singing on the radio or the record player. With much laughter her parents would explain that Kim was practicing in her room with her guitar. For Kim had that “sound” without a lot of fancy equipment. A naturally “studio” quality voice. She was already writing her first songs. It wasn’t until years later after Kim had already started a family of her own and left her guitar collecting dust in the closet that she realized her gift and her true desire to perform and write music. With her new “Gibson” Everly brother’s replica in tow she proceeded to go out and play. The response to her first group “Neon Blue” , who won first prize in the Wingham homecoming Band Contest, and her first music project “Let’s Open The Window”, which received nationwide newspaper coverage for it’s innovative educational approach encouraged Kim to pursue her dream full time.Now a few years, and several guitars, later Kim is playing with the popular Midwestern Ontario group Detour. She has opened for new country artists Beverly Mahood and Stephanie Beaumont with an all female trio “Cactus Jam” and opened for Farmer’s Daughter with Detour. Kim’s songs are featured on two area cd’s Heartbeat and Huron County Sings. She is currently working on an album with Detour for release in 2001 and a solo folk project also for release in 2001. A versatile performer with warmth, style and energy Kim is a Midwestern Ontario favourite and her unique voice and writing style create songs that truly capture the heart of the listener. Watch for Kim/Detour in your area…. there’s a busy year ahead for this girl.
