One foot in the sand, the other in a well-worn cowboy boot. Long before California sunsets and Nashville songwriting sessions, Kimberly Dawn was a farm girl in Alberta, Canada — working the fields on a John Deere and riding her horse bareback.
That's what her dad told her. No saddles, no lessons. That girl never really left Alberta — she just grew up. Wife, mom of four now-grown kids who are starting their own journeys, and an artist at heart who finally has the space to pour everything she's lived into her music.
She's played the Bluebird Café, the House of Blues, sang a duet with Paul Anka, and had a viral moment meeting her longtime hero Dolly Parton — over 20 million views and counting. Today she works with Dolly's longtime producer Kent Wells, but made him promise no shortcuts. She only wants the chance to earn it. Just like catching her own horse.
Her latest single "Might Be A God Thing" sat on the shelf for years. A devastating loss in the family unlocked the lyrics in a way she couldn't ignore. Through children, marriage, loss, and decades of building a life — Kimberly never lost sight of the dream that started back on that Alberta farm. She's still that bareback horse-riding girl chasing it down, with a lot more she still needs to sing about.
