Kim Barlow is an enduring presence in the Canadian indie-folk scene. An eccentric songwriter, skillful on guitar, clawhammer banjo, and sometimes cello, she’s recorded six albums of her own work, earned two Juno nominations, and has collaborations on the go at all times. Her newest band is Ida Red, a foot-stomping collective started with Gaspereau songster Heather Kelday. Having left her long-time Yukon home and relocated to Nova Scotia, Barlow finds herself back where she came from. With twin toddlers in the house, she is on hiatus from the touring circuit, but is rapidly gaining momentum with her new projects in the Annapolis Valley.
