Live Music with Kimmi Bitter

With a strong affinity for the roots of American music, Kimmi Bitter is a throwback mixed between 1960’s western twang, sultry twelve-bar blues, and old-fashioned rock n' roll. Styling her songs between the classic sounds of good ol' country and rockabilly legends to the psychedelia of San Fran and the Laurel Canyon counterculture era, this San Diego native features a cosmic West Coast take on traditional country and soul.

Kimmi Bitter may be considered an artist born in the wrong era. Struggling to connect with the modern top 40 hits, she drowned herself in the various genres of the ’50s through ’70s analog generation and took a plunge into the roots revival scene. She was nominated in her hometown for San Diego Music Awards best country/Americana artist of 2020 with her break-out EP West Side Twang. She now tours the country 365 days a year in the '95 Dodge camper van she lives in and will be releasing her debut full-length album Highway Hustler in 2022.
