  • Episode 6 - Kim Moberg
    May 27 2021

    Award winning songwriter, Kim Moberg, talks about overcoming severe stage fright, breaking into the open mic and folk scene, and about the importance of building relationships as a DIY artist.

    "They say that music cures all ills and has a way of uplifting the soul when it is down. 
    The very first time I heard Kim Moberg at the NERFA 2017 Suzi Wollenberg Folk DJ showcase, that very thought came to mind.
    Kim has a way of uplifting the spirit when it's down and filling one's heart and mind with hope.
    She is a fresh voice on the scene and  definitely wows a crowd. The world is a much brighter place with Kim Moberg."

    -Jon Stein, Hootenanny Cafe, WTBQ Orange County, NY
