“Kim Moberg combines a lovely voice with a deep insight into the human experience.
Her songs evoke genuine emotional responses in the listener, as she carries on the acoustic folk tradition in the 21st century. ”
— Nick Noble, host of THE FOLK REVIVAL, WICN (Worcester Public Radio)
Short Bio
Award winning singer/songwriter Kim Moberg was born in Juneau, Alaska, the daughter of a classical pianist mother of Alaskan Native Tlingit descent and a US Coast Guard
veteran father from Kansas.
Music was the constant in Kim's childhood, helping her to
adjust to the frequent moves
associated with growing up in a military family.
At the age of 14, Kim began playing acoustic guitar
on a borrowed nylon 6 string. A few years later,
Kim taught herself to strum and finger pick
to her favorite songs by singer/songwriters of the 1970’s,
but debilitating stage fright kept her from pursuing
her own dream of becoming a professional performer.
In 2014, after a career spanning nearly two decades in the financial industry, Kim set out to overcome her stage fright
and wrote her first song.
Kim teamed with Grammy-nominated producer Jon Evans to record two albums: "Above Ground” and “Up Around The Bend”. Both have received world wide airplay and charted on the
Folk Alliance International Folk DJ charts and the NACC Radio charts. Kim and Jon are currently collaborating on her third album which feature songs that tie ancient Native American
prophecies to our current social environment.
Kim's passionate and heartfelt vocals mesmerize listeners
while her compositions tug at feelings of
melancholy, heartbreak, healing and social consciousness.
