Kimmi Bitter

Dubbed "the future of classic country" by Saving Country Music, Kimmi Bitter is painting a whole new tapestry that drapes golden-era Countrypolitan with coastal desert twang. A rising force in the underground Americana scene she's mixing the old school with the new cool by capturing the attention of music fans and critics alike. That boundary-pushing spirit burst onto the scene when her 2024 debut album Old School, which landed in the Top 25 on the Americana Album Radio Chart and earned eight award nominations across outlets like Saving Country Music and the San Diego Music Awards. Of those, she took home three San Diego Music Awards, including Song of the Year (2024 & 2025) and Best Country Album (2025). The album also topped the Alt-Country Specialty Charts for four consecutive weeks, and her live performance was recently regarded as "one of the biggest takeaways" from Austin's SXSW.
