The Salmon Arm Folk Music Society are thrilled to announce Kim Churchill with Special Guest Mia Kelly on The Lovely Tour Canada!

Be prepared for a dazzling one-man band evening full of storytelling, happy tears and psychedelic foot stomping blues! Making his return to Salmon Arm after being the talk of the 2025 ROOTSandBLUES Festival, Australia’s Kim Churchill’s laidback folk style continues to strike a chord across the globe. Kim’s decade long industry experience spreads far and wide. Raised in the coastal town of Merimbula, Australia, the songwriter has previously been crowned Australia’s National Youth Folk Artist of the Year and
nominated for the National Live Music Awards Roots Act of the Year.

In 2023, Kim returned with his seventh-studio album Dawn Sounds, highly praised by industry and fans alike. Hitting home runs with singles “Fighter”, “Please Come Home (Feat. Steph Strings) and “Go Try Fall”, his latest single ‘Reflecting’ featuring Canadian born, LA based folk singer Emily Brimlow is part of a new album, ‘It’s Lovely To Have You Here’ which will be released on October 11th alongside a 2 month European headline tour.

 

Mia Kelly

Through the lush folk and earthy Americana, singer-songwriter Mia Kelly, from Gatineau, Quebec, Canada establishes herself as a spellbinding voice, blurring the lines between intimate memoir and compelling, semi-fictional narratives. Performing in both French and English, the 2X Canadian Folk Music Award winner enthrals listeners with a distinctive blend of Folk, Rock, and Blues, while swiftly gaining recognition for her rich, poetic lyricism.
Touring in support of her new album Blind Horse where Mia writes and sings about privilege through wealth, race, beauty, patriarchy, power structures, or the country we were born in.
Nominated for Single of the Year at the 2024 Canadian Folk Music Awards and four 2025 Capital Music Awards nominations. Mia took home Single of the Year for “Bonefish Boys” and Video of the Year for “Si j’étais franche.” Garden. Mia was named Emerging Artist of the Year by Culture Outaouais, represented Canada as a finalist at the 2023 Jeux de la Francophonie in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and was awarded both Young Performer of the Year and Emerging Artist of the Year at the 2024 Canadian Folk Music Awards.
