Kim June Johnson is a singer-songwriter and poet currently living on the wild west coast of BC. Her music has received several awards, including a Vancouver Island Music Award. She is widely known in the Canadian house concert community.
Her fourth album, “A Thousand Things” is a collection of folk-based songs, tiny stories scattered with coastal images and encounters, the recordings of which are supported by the lush string arrangements of composer Adrian Dolan.
Her poems and short nonfiction have appeared in literary journals such as Room, Prairie Fire, CV2 and Arc Poetry and River Teeth’s Beautiful Things. Her live shows combine music and improv poetry readings and are often performed in living rooms and small halls with her cellist, Jordie Robinson.
Kim also coaches other songwriters and writers and hosts an online writing community called Cozy Sunday Write-ins.
“Her songs are luminous… lyrics rooted in poetry,
melodies that seem to arise from a long-lost place yet are so beautifully grounded in structure and form . . . the work of an
exquisite artist.” – Catterwaul Magazine
