Show Notes

Hailing from the heart of one of Sydney's Southern coastal splendours, Kim Girdlestone is a truly authentic and captivating singer/songwriter. Her style is what she calls 'Daisy Chain Blues' a rich, raw blend of blues, folk, and Americana grounded in heartfelt storytelling and soul- drenched vocals.

Recently featured on 7NEWS with her band as part of Sydney's live music revival and she's just come off playing her sixth year performing at Cronulla Jazz & Bluesfestfestival.

A 2024 finalist in the Sydney Memphis Blues Challenge, Kim has performed at prestigious events including Cronulla Jazz & Blues Festival and Culburra Music Festival and has opened the annual Sydney Blues Society's 2025 & 2026 International Women's Day event. She's opened for artists such as Matt Corby, Pacey, King & Doley, and Canada's Charlie A'Court.

As soundsofoz.com notes, "Kim has much more than a voice on her side. She's a true artist, a crafter of songs that hearken back to the classic traditions of blues and soul. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
