about
performing at the tender age of four, sitting on her father's knee and singing while he strummed his banjo. From that moment on, she knew that music would be the driving force in her life. When she turned 19, her dad bought her a Yamaha acoustic guitar for Christmas, and she taught herself to play by writing her own songs. Born and raised in Dundas, Ontario, Kim has a burning desire to see the world, and a passion for meeting people. Her music is described as a blend of country, rock, and blues. Live performances are Kim’s strength. They are full of energy and enthusiasm, and reveal her need to connect with the audience. Lyrically, her songs speak of love, loss, truth, and the things that make her happy. The demand for Kim's well-written songs and beautiful voice have led to her performing across southern Ontario for the past 10 years. Her new cd, “Sun Went Down”, was released May 16th, 2007 at The Casbah in Hamilton. In June, Kim Koren and Punchbuggy Yellow showcased at the Dakota Tavern as part of NXNE, before flying to London, England to begin a three week long promotional tour. Shows were played in London, France, Slovenia and Croatia, and Kim has been receiving airplay on the Slovenian radio station Capris. Upon her return, Kim showcased her sophomore cd on the main stage at the Festival of Friends.
