Kimmi Bitter - Keeping it Countrypolitan

Kimmi Bitter - Keeping it Countrypolitan

Sometimes live radio requires a little improvisation—and this conversation with Kimmi Bitter certainly did. Just minutes before we went on the air at KKFI, the station internet went down. So, armed with a cell phone held up to the studiomicrophone and a little trial and error, we carried on. The audio is a bit rough at the beginning, but hang with us—it gets better quickly.

Kimmi was in Kansas City in support of her new album, Bittersweet, a beautifully produced journey through classic country and Countrypolitan sounds. And our timing turned out to be pretty good—the very next week, Kimmi landed at number one on the Alt Country Radio Chart.

The Patsy Cline comparisons come easily, but I wanted to dig deeper—into the influences beyond Patsy, the deliberate musical and visual world Kimmi has created, and how an artist can embrace the past while finding her own voice in the present.

Here’s my conversation with Kimmi Bitter, on the Tasty Brew.
