Kimberly Nichole will be taking the stage at Rockwood Music Hall, Stage 2 on Valentine's Day, Sunday, February 14. See below for details. If you haven't had a chance to catch this lady live, I highly suggest you do. You won't regret it.
Dearest friends & fans who purchased tickets for the upcoming NA shows, it is with much regret that I have to share I was diagnosed with a medical condition this past Friday which demanded me to postpone the upcoming North American tour dates. I am saddened for not being able to hit the road right away but rest assured I will make it up with double the strength as soon as I've been able to heal and take the necessary rest. The dates will be re-scheduled and I look forward to presenting the new music for you as soon as that time comes around. Thank you so much for all the support so far. With much love,
Trixie
