AN AUSTRALIAN psychedelic folk musician and songwriter Kim Churchill will release his next album ahead of tour dates here in the south.

Silence/Win is due for release on Friday (August 7) before he graces the stage at the Rusty Spurs Stage at Winchester’s Boomtown Fair a week later on Friday August 14.

The lead single Window To The Sky was the third most played track on Australia’s Triple J in May/June this year, and reached #3 on the Spotify Viral Chart.

Known for focussing on his deft guitar work while simultaneously playing percussion, harmonica and vocals, Kim has already accomplished impressive feats in his short time as a professional musician.

He is recognised as much internationally as he is in his homeland, having performed headline shows, festivals and supports alike all over the world.

In recent years he has opened for Billy Bragg, Seth Lakeman and Michael Franti, and performed at several notable festivals such as Glastonbury, SXSW, and the Byron Bay Blues Festival.

He will also be playing at Portsmouth’s Victorious Festival on Sunday August 30.
