Centered around the vein of old-school country with a touch of the swinging sixties, Kimmi Bitter and the Westside Twang are here to transport you on a retro journey into the year 1962 through their nostalgic songs. “The future of classic country is Kimmi Bitter,” as Saving Country Music boldly states. Effortlessly navigating through Countrypolitan ballads in her mod wardrobe and love of white boots, Bitter has drawn strong comparisons to Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette, and Nancy Sinatra.

Creating a buzz from her grassroots efforts and vigorous touring, her debut album “Old School” hit the ground running in 2024 landing at #24 on the Americana Album Radio Chart with “My Grass is Blue” debuting on the Americana Single Radio Chart. She also found recognition in her hometown at the San Diego Music Awards winning Best Country/Americana Artist and “My Grass is Blue” was nominated for Song of the Year in 2023, as well as, Saving Country Music's 2022 Single of the Year. In 2024, single "Aquamarine" was nominated for San Diego Music Award's Song of the Year making it the third nomination of a song featured on break-out album “Old School”.

Driven by a hyper-obsession for the 1960s, Kimmi Bitter and her band create a captivating soundscape that blends classic country with surf rock, psychedelic twangs.

“Like the bulk of Bitter’s new album Old School, “I Can’t Unlove You” is immersed in a detailed study of 1960s countrypolitan sounds, from the Jordannaires-esque harmonies to the hushed percussion. Meanwhile, Bitter possesses a smooth, polished vocal that unmistakably draws comparisons to the late Patsy Cline.” ~ * Must Hear New Country Songs, Billboard  April 2024
