Country Singer Kim Brogli Releases New EP “The Fight”

Rising artist Kim Brogli is set to release her debut EP, The Fight, on November 10, 2023. The new record will include an eclectic mix of musical styles and poignant themes. With influences from Americana, Folk Rock, and Alternative Country, Kim’s EP takes listeners on a journey through life’s trials and triumphs, including mental health awareness, love and relationships, parenting, self-doubt, and self-help, all while maintaining an element of fun.

ABOUT THE EP

Kim Brogli delves into her personal experiences and the challenges that have shaped her life in this new EP. The Fight explores the depths of self-doubt and condemnation in tracks like “Let Her Go,” advocating for self-acceptance and hope. In the title track, “The Fight,” Kim explores the complex world of parenting and the importance of teaching children valuable life lessons. Love and relationships take center stage in her cover song, “Crazy For You,” while “What A Waste” provides a heartfelt commentary on addiction and its impact on loved ones. To ensure a balanced mix of emotions, the EP also includes a lighthearted take on Kim’s life journey in “It’s a Good Day.”

The Fight offers a unique soundscape of mid-tempo love songs with an R&B pop flair. Kim Brogli’s soul-stirring lyrics are reminiscent of artists like Patty Griffin, Lori McKenna, or Brandi Carlile, infused with hints of blues, akin to Grace Potter or Susan Tedeschi. The EP’s vocal delivery combines elements of sweetness and grit, making for a truly engaging musical experience. ​

About Kim Brogli:An out of the box creative coupled a fierce drive, work ethic and unique ability to pull at your heart, Nashville based singer-songwriter Kim Brogli is making her mark among Nashville songwriters. The middle Tennessee native was always a writer and storyteller at heart. She recalls with laughter being the ADHD kid who was constantly in trouble at school, making the other kids laugh with her outrageous humor and telling stories that kept kids laughing or in suspense til the end. In the forth grade, Kim tried out for the school choir and didn’t make it. “I was a sensitive kid and have always been harder on myself than anyone else could ever be. So when I didn’t make the choir, I never sang again publicly. I just thought…I must be a terrible singer. It never dawned on me I was nervous and shy.”She went on to graduate from The University of Alabama with a degree in French and International Business.  After a successful career selling real estate, she bought guitars for her twin boys and ended up playing them herself.  After getting her own guitar for Christmas that year, she began taking voice lessons and that led to putting her words on paper into song. After recording a few singles with her then vocal coach Kristen Smith, acclaimed producer, Will Gawley, found Kim on Instagram and said her soulful voice was reflective of those ‘70s songwriters. She has often been compared to Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, Lori McKenna and Sarah Jarosz.They decided to record her debut EP, which includes four original songs she wrote or co-wrote with hit songwriter, James Dean Hicks.  In it, she touches on subjects like faith, love, life lessons, self doubt, parenting and many other feelings she has processed on paper.  She is slowly finding an audience in the Americana market. Her songs have the ability to bring tears and make you reflect upon the deeper meaning of life in a sweet, understated way.  She performs mostly around Nashville at this time.

Independent rock singer-songwriter Mark Winters returns with a bluesy-rock/Americana single 7 Deadly Moods.”



In “7 Deadly Moods” the positive vibe rocker explores some darker emotions and takes us on a journey as he battles a multi-headed hydra of negativity. The tune starts off with a bluesy guitar riff and pulsating drums, and it is full of driving energy that you feel the moment you hit play. John Mayer-inspired guitar licks and Mumford and Sons vocal harmonies describe the artist’s struggles as he faces his seven deadly moods and finds his way back to positivity with music and community.



The Texas-based Winters’ musical roots lie heavily influenced by rock, blues rock, and Americana artists but the songwriter is much more than that; a poet, entrepreneur, optimist, family man, and a bonafide rocket scientist. Winters has a degree in Aerospace, Aeronautical, and Astronautical Engineering, and his math and science background guides his musical explorations. “I like taking complex things such as emotions and expressing them in a way that’s easy to understand. Balancing my right-brained creativity with my analytical left-brain is part of a life-long journey; music special place where I can explore this balance”, Mark says.



Winters first picked up a guitar to play a song for his wife on their anniversary and that’s when he discovered the joy of connecting with people through music. Mark combines music, poetry, a science background, and love for his community to form his signature sound, “rock with a positive vibe.”



“7 Deadly Moods” is out today and available on all streaming platforms.

The second single Sweet Death originally performed by King Dude and Shannon F. is now available on streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/rioghan-sweet 

Rioghan comments Sweet Death:
“Sweet Death became my favorite song that instant when I heard King Dude’s ‘Death’-album for the first time. It also became obvious, that this song had to be visited, if I only could find a suitable duet-partner. And of course we did, Tony Kaikkonen agreed to sing with me on this release too. Instrumentally we turned the song a bit to the heavier side, and for vocals we channeled our inner gothic atmosphere. All in all, a lovely song, where the lyrics also let you sink into the darkening autumn nights.”
