Après Music - Oak Mountain

Music By: Kim Buckley

Kim Buckley is a highly charged female American singer-songwriter originating from Grafton, in Upstate, New York.

Kim always loved music, but it was truly sparked when her parents gave her a guitar for Christmas during high school. She spent her time teaching herself to play and soon began to compose her own songs. Kim continued feeding her passion for music as she continued her education. After college, she began to attend open mics, and it soon became apparent by audience reaction that she was an up-and-coming artist. Kim quickly began to receive invitations from many upstate musicians to join them on stage, to provide her with a platform to share her music.

Kim's popularity quickly grew, and she soon was booking solo shows at Northeast Clubs, Music Venues Colleges, and Universities. She soon teamed up with the very talented band Soul Shock (Rob Beulieu, Rick Annen, Nick Landess, and Allen Onderchain) from Albany, New York. During this 2-year collaboration, Soul Shock toured with Kim and recorded her self-released recording, "Pouring Rain".

Kim has over 20 years of experience performing solo, in duos, and with full bands. Kim has shared the stage with national acts such as the soulful Joan Osbourne, Pop Folk Artist, Dar Williams, Nashville's Kim Richie, Sophie B. Hawkins, Grammy Nominated Artist, Leslie Fiest, Rockers Antigone Rising, and many more. Media and critics find it challenging to label Kim's music into one genre. However, they all agree that her voice stuns and captivates an audience with her true raw emotion and hard-hitting lyrics, her music raises no age barriers.

Kim, most recently is touring with Rob West, a well-seasoned and talented guitar player, for the Helderberg Mountains. Rob has been involved with music most of his life. His experience and professionalism on guitar complement Kim’s music with majesty and color.
