“Music <\/span>
that <\/span>
exudes <\/span>
summer <\/span>
nostalgia” <\/span>

“No need to run when the sun is coming” – Kim Churchill’s life motto reveals a lot about his way of making music. The Australian with the long, sun-bleached hair travelled the world for years in his camper van as a street musician, his surfboard always in tow. In his songs, which are often about surfing, the singer-songwriter processes the experiences of his travels. With his passionate singing, which he accompanies solo with guitar, harmonica, tambourine and stand-up drums, he creates entire landscapes in the minds of the audience, which he captivates effortlessly with his magnetic stage presence.<\/p>\n

In 2009 Kim Churchill won the Australian street music competition Byron Bay Bluesfest and was awarded National Youth Folk Artist of the Year. He has been nominated several times for the APRA Music Awards, the Australian equivalent of the Grammys. In the meantime, Churchill is as internationally recognised as he is in his home country of Australia and has given concerts almost all over the world. Tours have taken him to Canada, Europe, South Africa and the United States. He has played at Glastonbury Music Festival, Montreal International Jazz Festival, South By South West and supported Milky Chance, Billy Bragg and Michael Franti.<\/p>\n

In 2020, Kim Churchill released a collection of EPs entitled I Am Forgetting The End Again. Each EP was recorded in a different part of the world with a different producer, including Berlin, Vancouver Island and Australia’s Blue Mountains. “Dawn Sounds”, now his seventh studio album, was released in early 2023 and he will be performing it live on a major tour of Australia and Europe this spring and summer.<\/p>\n

“The album is a collection of songs I wrote on 100 mornings at dawn – a wonderful, quiet time in the world and in my head,” says Kim Churchill. “Dawn Sounds” was produced and recorded in a studio in the Byron hinterland, also in a very special atmosphere: “We opened the doors wide and hung microphones on the trees.”<\/p>\n

The press says:<\/p>\n

“Kim Churchill’s music strikes a brilliant balance between the warmth of summer and life.” (The AU Review)<\/p>\n

“You can imagine listening to this music while hiking on a mountaintop in Nepal, soaking up the sun on an Australian beach, or watching the snow fall in a cosy pub in Europe.” (Life Without Andy)<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
