On The Scene: Kimberly Dawn Performs Live at the Mint LA’s Patio

There’s nothing like a little country music to brighten our spirits on a Friday night in Los Angeles.

The venue for the night was the Mint LA’s Patio and the tunes to be provided came from the amazing Canadian-born country singer/songwriter, Kimberly Dawn. More than 50 people gathered round for an intimate live performance to hear hits like “Cadillac Lovers” and “Slow Dancin’ in the Dark” — both of which nominated for Best Country Song at the 2019 Hollywood Music in Media Awards.

The biggest crowd-pleaser for the night came when Kimberly performed her latest single “’93” — where fans in the crowd got out of their seats as they sang along to each and every word (some even wanting an encore). The song touches a cord for so many because it inspires a feeling where 1990’s nostalgia lives on and invites listeners to escape the day-to-day whirlwind of modern life and relive the hidden magic of a decade filled with simple joys of low-tech connection.

Kimberly Dawn has a gift for storytelling and in her own words this is why: “All through growing up, raising a family, and finding myself, music got me past the most difficult times. If my song gives someone else strength to get through the day, then I’ve done what I set out to do.”

Her newest single, “The Bottle,” will be released in May just in time for some summer fun. Be sure to stream it on Spotify and join her community of 50,000 plus fans on Instagram.
