Chloe Kimes

June 3rd

Nashville based singer-songwriter Chloe Kimes is actively defining the next generation of folk-singing troubadours with an old-soul sensibility for storytelling in a spirited alt-country outfit. Born and raised on the lakeshores of northern Michigan, Kimes remains unbound by genre and consistently navigates a delicate balance between poignance and charm with vocals wrung out and steadfast as any before her. Named one of NPR's 2022 Slingshot Artist's to Watch, her debut album is ambitious and strikingly live. Reviewed as "reminiscent of contemporary roots heroes like Lucinda Williams," Kimes' self-titled debut is a raw reflection of the artist, and with music as homegrown as its penman, Kimes and her band are not to be missed.

​

The midwest native was raised on bluegrass festivals and family harmony but relocated to Nashville, TN in 2016. With over a decade of performing in various bands already under her belt, the 24 year old has also graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Business from Middle Tennessee State University. Kimes pulls influence from the flourishing acoustic music community in her Nashville home, as well as from her backwoods, Michigan roots. An inspired storyteller, her organic sincerity is sure to capture her audience at first listen.
