KIMBERLY BURKE
COUNTRY SOUL.
REAL STORIES.
LIVED FULLY.
Kimberly Burke is a Nashville recording artist and country-soul singer-songwriter whose sound is rooted in storytelling and shaped by a life guided by instinct, discipline, and two lifelong passions—music and horses.
Raised in a farming family, Burke has been around horses since she was two years old. She went on to earn a degree in music, but instead of following a traditional path, she built a career as a competitive rider and professional trainer in the hunter/jumper world. Years spent reading movement, energy, and emotion—both in horses and people—quietly shaped the instincts that now define her songwriting.
My two passions in life are music and riding horses—and I’ve been lucky enough to turn both into careers.
Drawn to the stories in everyday life, Burke writes songs that capture the moments that define us—love, loss, humor, and everything in between. Blending country, soul, and Americana, her sound feels both timeless and current, grounded in strong melodies and lyrics that connect on a deeper level.
Her recent singles, “The Girl I Was Before” and “He Buys Me Roses Just Because,” have received country radio play, introducing her as an emerging voice in country soul.
Now splitting time between the coast and Nashville, Burke brings a perspective that’s both grounded and expansive—equal parts salt air and studio grit. Her upcoming release, “My Circus,” continues that evolution, leaning into vivid storytelling with a fresh, modern edge.
On stage, that connection becomes real. Whether in an intimate setting or a full room, Burke’s performances feel less like a show and more like a shared experience—where the stories aren’t just hers, they’re yours too.
