Always passionate, at times profane, River stalks/walks the line between vulnerable and menacing, their voice strong and uneasy, country classic but with contemporary, earthy tension. You can hear in their voice what they've seen; world weary, lessons learned—or not—but always defiant. Writing with a blunt urgency, River's lyrics are in turn smart, funny, mean, and above all, uncompromising. Sly turns of phrase so spot on they feel as old and true as a hymn. Anger that's as confrontational as it is concise. Humor that's as wry and resigned as a park bench prophet. The Disarmers hit all the sweet spots from Nashville’s Lower Broad to Bakersfield and take River's unflinching tales out for some late-night kicks. At times, it’s as simple and muscular as Luther Perkins’ boom-chicka-boom, or as downtown as Johnny Thunders. The Disarmers keep in the pocket, tight and tough. **About Chloe Kimes** *https://www.chloekimesmusic.com/* Kimes was born and raised on the lakeshores of northern Michigan. As a rural midwest native her music is built on folk festivals, family harmony, and the barefoot back roads always taken. Chloe has built a strong Michigan following touring every small Mitten town since she was fourteen years old, but relocated to Nashville, TN in 2016 to continue her work as a professional singer, songwriter, bandleader, and recording artist. The Nashville based singer-songwriter is actively defining the next generation of folk-singing troubadours with an old-soul sensibility for storytelling in a spirited alt-country outfit. She released her debut album in 2022, a strikingly live self-titled with rafter reaching vocals and songwriting that garnered her comparisons to the likes of Lucinda Williams (Jonathan Frahm, For Folk’s Sake) and landed her a spot on NPR Music's Top 10 Nashville Artist's on the rise in 2022. Since then, the record has also been awarded Listener’s Choice Album of the Year by her home state’s WYCE Radio Jammie Awards. Following in the footsteps of many Michigan artists looked up to throughout her career, (Billy Strings, Lindsay Lou, The Accidentals, to name a few) Kimes continues to forge the Michigan-native-Nashville-based pipeline with an electric band not to be missed.
