Kimmi Bitter

“The future of classic country is Kimmi Bitter,” as Saving Country Music boldly states. Driven by a hyper-obsession for the 1960s, Kimmi Bitter and the Westside Twang create a captivating soundscape that blends golden-era Countrypolitan with psychedelic twangs and a mod flair.

Creating a buzz from her grassroots efforts and vigorous touring, her debut album "Old School" hit the ground running in 2024 landing on the Top 25 Americana Album Radio Chart and has garnered five separate song nominations to date.

Single "Aquamarine" claimed Song of the Year at the 2024 San Diego Music Awards, beating out fellow nominees Jason Mraz, P.O.D., and Thee Sacred Souls. Her breakout album dominated the Alt. Country Specialty Charts, reaching #1 for four consecutive weeks and earning a Saving Country Music’s Album of the Year nomination, alongside Sierra Ferrell, Red Clay Strays, and Billy Strings. She's a San Diego Music Award winner for Best Country/Americana Artist, with "My Grass is Blue" snagging another Song of the Year nod in 2023. Regarding her live performance, she was notably coined one of the "biggest musical takeaways" at Nashville's most recent Americanafest.
