About this user

"Kim Beggs is the real deal", says Now Magazine (NNNN). Her album Blue Bones was the iTunes Spotlight feature for Indie Singer Songwriter in August, while the Globe and Mail declared Maiden Heart (song from Blue Bones) an Essential Track. Blue Bones has been released in Canada, the US, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK.

Beggs is an award winning, original talent who makes music that transcends style and fashion. Without so much as a backward glance at what others consider 'hip', she instead makes music that is true. Bold, brilliant, dark and sincere, with an instantly recognizable voice that blends sweetness and grit. The Yukon-based singer/songwriter (and sometimes carpenter) tells stories of love, blues, bones and the North on her third album, Blue Bones, which is her first with the Black Hen label (BC).

Beggs has shared the stage with Buffy St Marie, Stephen Fearing, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Chris Jagger to name a few and at festivals like the Edmonton Folk Music Festival, Ottawa Folk Festival, Lunenburg Harbour Folk Festival, Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad, and Trafalgar Square in London England for Canada Day (2008). She has toured Canada, the US and the UK.

She released her first album, Streetcar Heart, in 2004; her second album, Wanderer's Paean, in 2006; and her third album Blue Bones in 2010. The first two were released with Caribou Records and the latest is released with Black Hen Music.

Blue Bones has rarely left my CD player since I first heard the album in the spring."
- No Depression

"At her best - as she is here - Beggs reminds one of Joni Mitchell and Iris Dement."
- Vintage Guitar Magazine

"...her marvelously anecdotal songwriting (nine originals are here) authentically captures and comments on various elements of the rustic, laid-back charm of the Canadian north."
- Sing Out! Magazine
-
"The sweetly meandering melody, combined with countrified guitar and the gritty harmonies of American musician and producer Gurf Morlix, is the very definition of rootsy charm." - Exclaim

"Kim Beggs' girl-woman voice is perfect for this song ['Maiden Heart'] about a kind of innocence than never dies" - The Globe and Mail

"If Kim Beggs was making music when Joni Mitchell and Neil Young were getting their starts, this Yukon-based singer would be huge."- Metro
