With a raw and powerful voice, Kim Wempe leaves an imprint on your soul and a melody you just can't shake. Her evocative artistic style and honest onstage performance are one of a kind.

Since her move to the East Coast, Kim has shared stages and stories with some of Canada's favorite Maritime musical acts, including Jill Barber, Christina Martin, Ryan Cook, Charlie A'Court, Coco Love Alcorn, and Norma MacDonald. Her captivating live show has turned heads and hearts at festivals across the country from Evolve in Nova Scotia to Morfee Mountain in British Columbia and back to Halifax's In The Dead of Winter Festival.

While Kim's first full-length album The Last Version (2007) captures a range of toe-tapping rhythms and styles from soulful blues melodies, to jazz-influenced folk tunes, her star is rising with a recent win for the Where I Need to Be EP (2009) at the Nova Scotia Music Awards (Folk Recording of the Year), and an upcoming album, Painting With Tides, due for release in 2010.
