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."

"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."
Kimbra's skill performing live is as sharp as it's ever been. The messages, and stories she has to convey are illuminating, and relevant. It was an extreme pleasure to be in the same room as this magnificent Talent for the evening.
The venue was good, but Kimbra was fantastic. She is one of the best performers I've ever seen, with innovative music, incredible talent, and so much passion. This was a spectacular concert.
My expectations were surpassed. Kimbra put on an entertatining live show, with great sound.
Kimbra is amazing and didn’t disappoint. First show, would see her again.
Kimbra's heart filled every crevice of Delmar Hall.
One of the best shows that I’ve seen in a while. She’s an incredible singer and artist!!!!
Delmar Hall is a fantastic place to see an artist like Kimbra! Great views from any seat in the house. Great sound system and wait staff as well.
Kimbra and her opener Aysia BerLynn were phenomenal! It was a great show in a beautiful venue!
It was at an intimate venue. Kimbra had great stage presence and the shoe was awesome.
I hadn't been to a concert in almost two decades and this was well worth my time, it was absolutely fantastic, I enjoyed every minute of it, Kimbra really has a wonderful voice and sound.
Kimbra always puts on an amazing show. The Madrid is a great venue too
First night of the Primal Heart tour (album out in April) and it was great to "screen" Kimbra and her band live! Local faves Arc Iris are opening on tour; couldn't imagine a better choice!
Words cannot describe how good the Kimbra show was.
Kimbra wore two costumes. A MuMu with Art Deco style print and a Chrome piece bodice and tutu. Her beautiful skin made the revealing Chrome dress captivating. He voice was overshadowed early in the set by the Base & Drums. I think the bass notes were from a keyboard, since I didn't see anyone playing a bass guitar at the time. The fixed that by the third song an I was loving it. Kimbra has terrific stage presence and is great with the crowd. Many songs were sung by the crowd as well and I think she enjoyed that. I sang along to Settle Down and Two Way Street.
Kimbra is a great singer. The band and sound people behind her were terrible last Saturday night. They drowned out her voice, filled the music with stupid electronic noises and had the drum kit miked as if it were in a stadium. We left after 6 songs as it didn't get better. Lots of others around us left also. Very disappointing and sad to see such a great artist being ruined. Luckily the opening act Micky Ecko was superb backed by outstanding musicians who had the sound just right. What a fabulous singer he is and the drummer backing him had fabulous dynamics. The contrast between his superb show and the awful one by Kimbra only showed how bad her people were.
Kimbra is such an amazing performer! In such a small venue, the concert felt very intimate and all inclusive. The opener had a cool vibe but was a little stiff. Would definitely see her again.
Wow. Just wow. I barely have words to describe how incredible Kimbra's performance was. Her band was on point, and every note that exited her mouth was pitch perfect. The show was energetic and captivating, and incredibly emotional. Her live show is even better than her recordings, and I was left speechless by the end. Definitely recommend
An amazing artist who walks her own path, and delivers a show filled with great songs, energetic, spirited performances and a supremely talented, tight band. Kimbra was fabulous on her last tour in the US, but this show surpasses it--every song was delivered with grit and energy and spectacular musicianship. That she is not a household name is a crime, in my opinion. Then again, she is not a I-V-vi-IV pop princess--her songs are far more sophisticated, challenging and exciting than the standard fare, and her live performances deliver a fun, powerful knock-out punch. Highly--HIGHLY recommended!
Brighton Music Hall was Not the venue you would expect Kimbra would book. There is NO seating! The sound system was so loud the bass was giving my heart a cardio workout with every beat of the bass drum. I am not kidding. Completely drowned out Kimbra's AMAZING VOCALS.!!
The opener Empress Of was awesome...Kimbra was ehhh...her voice is phenomenal...stage presence was OK but her 2nd album's material is average at best...the few songs she played off her 1st album were the highlights of the night...Settle Down sounded even better live...I guess this is just personal preference about the music...she was a good performer otherwise..I wouldn't go see her again...the tickets were free to begin with so not really complaining
