Three years after his last appearance, we are delighted to welcome Kim Churchill back to the Underground Lake.
Kim Churchill lives for and through the guitar. His playing is striking in its technical mastery: intricate fingerpicking, percussive rhythms on the fretboard and body, two-hand tapping, harmonica lines and foot percussion – all supporting a deep, expressive voice. A true virtuoso on stage, he combines raw intensity with genuine humility.
First recognised in Australia in 2009 as “National Youth Folk Artist of the Year”, he quickly gained attention at the Byron Bay Bluesfest, sharing stages with artists such as Xavier Rudd, Ben Harper and Bob Dylan. Since then, he has performed at major international festivals including Glastonbury and the Montreal International Jazz Festival.
With seven albums to his name – including Dawn Sounds (2023) and It’s Lovely to Have You Here (2024) – Kim Churchill continues to refine a powerful blend of folk, country and unfiltered energy.
In the natural acoustics of the Underground Lake, his guitar and voice promise a direct and intense experience.
