Live Music ~ Chloe Kimes @ Shenanigans
Jun 6 @ 7:00 pm
Chloe Kimes is a Michigan born singer, songwriter and bandleader currently based in Nashville, TN.
In 2022 Kimes independently released her self titled debut album — voted “Listener’s Choice Album of the Year” by WYCE Radio as well as landing her a spot on NPR Music’s Top Ten Nashville Artists on the Rise.
In 2024 she released her latest single “Coors Light” following its immense viral popularity, and spent the year touring a fresh batch of originals on the shoulders of her well loved debut, “it’s the early marks of a great Americana storyteller-in-the-making, cut from a cloth reminiscent of contemporary roots heroes like Lucinda Williams.” (Johnathan Frahm, For Folk’s Sake)
A songwriting troubadour with new music pointing towards a courageous sophomore release, she fronts a spirited alt-country outfit. Kimes and her band offer a striking live show with a timeless sound, her tireless voice leading the way, her sentiments forging their own new space in the country Americana scene.
