Having always had a love for creating things - for music, for dance - Kimberly Kiel found one of her greatest passions when she applied paintbrush to canvas for the first time; and finds as much joy in the process as in the end product. Kimberly expresses herself through a wide variety of subject matter; landscapes and treescapes; figure pieces and florals.
"For me creating art is a passion, a celebration of the joy and colour to be found in life. I strive to leave much to the imagination, for the viewer to fill in the blanks. To go from a blank, white canvas to one filled with brilliant, glorious colour - there is a huge sense of satisfaction in that.'"– Kimberly Kiel

Canada’s longest running Leonard Cohen tribute, Tower of Song(Glenna Garramone & Oliver Swain) will perform with Victoria legend Daniel Lapp and Adrian Dolan at Alix Goolden Performance Hall November 4th.
Having just sold out The Charlie White Theatre at the Mary Winspear Centre in September, Tower of Song and collaborators Daniel Lapp and Adrian Dolan will take listeners on a journey through every era of Cohen’s epic career, often reinterpreting classics by adding soaring vocal deliveries and tight, duet harmony singing.

"I said to Hank Williams, how lonely does it get?
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
But I hear him coughing all night long
A hundred floors above me, In the Tower of Song"
When Leonard Cohen sang these words, the Tower of Song was a metaphor for the inspiration that flows between songwriters, each toiling away on their own, but connected by their shared craft. Moved by this concept, celebrated BC singer-songwriters Oliver Swain and Glenna Garramone collaborated to produce a project that is a dialogue through song and a tribute to the legendary songwriter. Re-imagining both rare and classic works of Cohen, the duo have crafted a sound that resonates with both longtime Cohen fans and a younger audience.
Tower of Song began as a one-off tribute night for a packed house at Vancouver's The Media Club, and has since grown into a nationally touring folk duo. Produced by Garramone, she invited fellow Victoria musician Oliver Swain, and the show gave Swain and Garramone the chance to grow their musical chemistry. Together as Tower of Song the two have arranged some of Cohen's timeless songs beautifully, for two voices, banjo, string bass, piano and guitar.
