   Anybody hear of Kim Wempe?   If so, what do you think of her?   
      
   Those in the area of St. John's, Newfoundland may be interested   
   in the following gig.   
   ------------------------------------------   
   This Wednesday Feb. 22 the headliner at Folk Night at The Ship   
   Pub is Kim Wempe.  Cover is $5 and it runs from 9--11:30 p.m.   
   Chris Kirby and John Clarke will also do a short blues set,   
   and there is an open mic and there are door prizes.  And   
   if you buy a membership for $10 you get every fifth Folk   
   Night admission free.   
      
   Here is the blurb from nlfolk.com :   
      
   Kim Wempe:   
      
   Some may call her vocals haunting and smokey, others may insist she is   
   the child of Janis Joplin and sister of Adele, but the unique pull of   
   her music is the quiet warrior you can hear seeping through her songs.   
   The minute her wide brown eyes fix themselves on the road ahead, there   
   is no holding her back.   
      
   Winner of the Galaxie Rising Star of the Year at the 2010 East Coast   
   Music Awards and Folk Recording of the Year at the 2009 Music Nova   
   Scotia Awards, Kim's undeniable talent has been showcased at JUNOFest,   
   the Vancouver Olympics, Canadian Music Week and festivals across the   
   East Coast including the 2011 Stan Rogers Folk Festival and Lunenburg   
   Folk Harbour Festival. She has performed alongside Royal Wood, Jill   
   Barber, Jenn Grant, David Myles, James Keelaghan, David Francey, Matt   
   Andersen, and Madison Violet.   
      
   Her website is http://kimwempe.com/ and you can get a free   
   MP3 download there.
