Brewster Ladies' Library presents The Seven Fires Prophecy Suite for Humanity

The Seven Fires Prophecy Suite for Humanity is the story of the Aninshinaabe legend "The Seven Fires Prophecy."

About the Musicians

Award winning singer/songwriter Kim Moberg was born in Juneau, Alaska, the daughter of a classical pianist mother of Alaskan Native Tlingit descent and a US Coast Guard veteran father from Kansas. Music was the constant in Kim's childhood, helping her to adjust to the frequent moves associated with growing up in a military family.

At the age of 14, Kim began playing acoustic guitar on a borrowed nylon 6-string, but debilitating stage fright kept her from pursuing her dream of becoming a professional performer. In 2014 Kim set out to overcome her stage fright and wrote her first song.

Kim teamed with Grammy-nominated producer Jon Evans to record three albums, all receiving worldwide airplay in addition to charting on the Folk Alliance International Folk DJ and NACC radio charts. Kim’s latest release The Seven Fires Prophecy Suite for Humanity features songs that tie ancient Anishinaabe prophecies to our current social environment. Kim and Jon are in the process of finishing her 4th album titled All That Really Matters, scheduled to be released in this year.

Kim has received numerous recognitions, most recently 2021 Rocky Mountain Songwriting Contest Finalist, 2021 Great American Songwriting Contest Folk/Americana Finalist, 2020 CT Folk Grassy Hill Songwriting Competition Winner, 2020 Blues and Roots Radio Contest Finalist and 2020 Corpus Christi Songwriters Spring Songwriters Contest 2nd Place.

A strong believer that music brings us together and holds the power to affect change, Kim is an augural member of Club Passim’s The Folk Collective, an initiative founded in 2022 to present inclusive and equitable events that welcome and invite diverse audiences and artists to the Passim stage and beyond. 

Kim invites listeners to join her musical stories with a combination of rich vocals (described as “a blend of honey and whiskey”) and skillful guitar work. Learn more at www.kimmobergmusic.com
