                                         -----------------

I am so thrilled over meeting some new friends!!!  Don't stop here, check out my myspace page!!!  If you hear something there you'd like to hear on this page...just tell me!  That first $1000 is within sight now, and I am so grateful to those who've given me a new reason to write and sing!!  Thank you a gazillion times over!!!

                                     


Welcome to my page.  I am a songwriter, first.  It's the only thing I know how to do, the only way I've supported my children.  I have a catalogue of songs that have been recorded by lots of people, but these songs are for me.  I left the corporate songwriting world and the security of a paycheck because I just have to sing my own songs before I leave this planet.  I have lived every note.  I appreciate those who believe in me.  I thank you for listening.  A person who supports the art, is more precious than diamonds. 

You will no doubt hear some of the influence of my Irish mountain roots and my Cherokee grandmothers.  I hope you like it.  kim

Here are some things that have been said of me by some other folks:

Kim McLean is a daringly honest singer/songwriter who is brave enough to share her soul with the world.  As she sings, she reaches inside your heart and helps you remember who you are.

"A melody as beautiful as heirloom lace" -- Robert K. Oermann, Music Row Magazine

"Kim McLean is always a conductor of great material." -- Opry North

My first int'l Folk Alliance was a blast!!!  First - let me thank those of you who came to my showcases and mentioned seeing me on Sellaband!!  Yippee!

I was amazed at all the music being done for ALL the right reasons.  It was so good for my spirit.  Everyone goes to Folk Alliance to get gigs, network (not my strongsuit :)...) and to basically shine as brightly as possible.  But I couldn't help but notice some artists that moved me, and were just plain nice.  A beautiful heart is worth mentioning - so do check out these wonderful people!

Tori Sparks - a trailblazer rockin' she-ro
Sofia Grey - a quiet spirit with important music
Keith Sykes - he's just cool
Madalyn Sklar and the blazing batalian of feminine support at Gogirlsmusic.com
Cynthia Bennett - an Irish songbird with a gorgeous soul
Holly Light - a flamethrower of a voice from the West Coast who really reached out with some kind words
Gary Allegretto - whose harmonica workshop and unsinkable spirit blew me away (no pun intended!) - what an artist!
Juni Fisher - a cowgirl with such class

Ok - I just felt it important to talk about some of the people who made a difference in my first visit to Folk Alliance.  Do check out the websites of these folks because they are priceless humans on our very expensive blue dot of a planet!  Love and peace - kim

Hi, I think you've posted three very beautiful songs on SAB. "Dream on" and "All through the morning" sound really great. Greetings Carla

Hi Kim!
I was so impressed with All About Us video. I loved its brass sounds. It's a very nice pop song with country taste.
Thank you for a heart-warming clip!

A lovely Lady with a great sound.


Check out Kim's "Happy Face"album.

A mixture of Linda Ronstead, Shania Twain, Emmylou Harris with a twist of Janis Joplin. With a bit of Stefan Grossman on the strings. How do you describe a style that is unique?

Fantastic Voice & Fantastic songs, Kim is going go far so grab those parts while you still can :)

This is an artist that could take Sellaband by storm. Coming from the hotbed which is Nashville its great that Kim is prepared to take the Sellaband route for her next CD. You have to check out this lady - sheer class - or as I am prone to saying "ticks all the right box's" :)
