KIMBRA IN CONCERT:
Aussie songstress Kimbra first rose to fame thanks to her collaboration on Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know", but lately it's her solo act that's earning attention. Her perfect mix of soulful pop, jazz, and dance music gets concertgoers tearing up the floor all night. Known for her eccentric stagewear, powerful vocal range, and expert use of looping effects, Kimbra never fails to wow with her infectious energy and phenomenal performances of originals such as "Settle Down" and "Plain Gold Ring".
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Kimbra got her start in music at the age of 12 when she learned to play guitar and sang in her school choir. Influenced by Michael Jackson, Imogen Heap, and Stevie Wonder, Kimbra began experimenting with different genres and eventually arrived at her soul-tinged dance-pop sound. After winning a video contest in 2008, she attracted attention from label exec Mark Richardson who saw her immense talent and signed her later that year. She released her debut single "Settle Down" two years later, which landed a Top 40 spot on the New Zealand charts and put her on the map as a hot artist on the rise. She collaborated with Gotye on his 2011 single "Somebody That I Used To Know" -- a worldwide smash hit that topped the charts in 26 countries, earned the duo two Grammy Awards, and launched the pair to stardom overnight. Since then she's released her 2011 critically acclaimed full-length Vows and toured alongside Foster the People and the Kooks. On tour Kimbra sings tracks from her 2014 album The Golden Echo among older fan favorites and delivers one exciting performance after another.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Kimbra put on one of the best shows I have seen in years. Her band was very good and the live performance was so much better than the recording."
"Amazing show. Band was incredibly tight! There was so much energy and good vibes in the atmosphere! I will make it a point to see her again whenever I can."
"I had a great time at the show. Kimbra is great live and you can tell she really gets into it. I would definitely see her live again because she really was amazing."

The concert took place at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto.Kimbra was amazing! But Danforth Music Hall speakers sounded old!!!
The venue was awesome and the staff was courteous and very helpful. I loved how intimate the space was, yet it wasn't too loud. Kimbra was amazing and the opening band was very funky. We had a great time and are already looking for another show to see at the Danforth Music Hall! Thanks!
A fantastic show. Loved her energy. She was very engaging with the audience.
Kimbra was AMAZING! The band was fantastic, Kimbra's vocals were spectacular and her energy made for a really fun show. Easily one of the best concerts I've experienced.
I'm loathe to give this event such a low rating, because the acts themselves were fantastic. If only we could hear them better! Half the time the sound was just a wall of indeterminate noise. This was okay with the opening act, The Step Kids, because their psychedelic sound lent itself to that kind of sonic blurring. But for Kimbra, half the time you couldn't hear her vocals above the bass drum or keyboards. There are clearly some intricate arrangements happening in Kimbra's music, and she and her band are amazing musicians--but we could barely make this out. I'm not sure if sitting in the mezzanine was the problem, or if the mixing was just bad, but we were disappointed.
I've never seen someone have as good a time on stage as Kimbra did. Stellar vocals, the band was great. She was everything I expected her to be, and then a lot more after that. 3 piece costumes, awesome live vocal loops, cool twists on her classics and everything else one can expect at a concert. What a great experience, definitely going back next time she's in Toronto.
I saw her open for Foster the People in Deer Lake Park. She was the reason I went to their concert in the first place... then I heard she was head lining her own show in Vancouver at the Commodore! YES! I'm so there. She had an even more amazing stage presence at this show. Kimbra is an amazing vocalist. So powerful. So beautiful. She gave me goosebumps throughout the night... just amazing.
She is the best. Because love is a two way street.
