Along with her band Blue Heat, blues vocalist Kim Lembo recorded several albums for Blue Wave beginning in 1994. The Syracuse, NY-based vocalist worked with multi-instrumentalist/producer Mark Doyle for her debut album, which she named after her band. Two years later, she again worked with Doyle for her follow-up, Mama Lion. During this time in the mid-'90s, Lembo built a sizable following in New York state, where she continued to perform on a regular basis and win much acclaim. By the time Blue Wave released her third album, Ready to Ride (1999), she'd built quite a following. This growing audience resulted in an opportunity to perform a series of shows in Paris during January 2000 at the Chesterfield Cafe. These shows were later compiled on the Paris Burning album released later that year. ~Bio by Jason Birchmeier

During the 1990’s and early 2000’s, Kim Lembo released 4 albums on Blue Wave Records in the states and Blues Tone, Skyranch in France. After a long break from recording, Lembo has just completed her 5th release, “45 Miles” due to be self released early 2016.

She has spent the last 15 years living/working in the Bay Area while exploring the world and writing songs. In the fall of 2012, she journeyed to Beijing to help out with the AIDS Walk on the Great Wall of China. Given the language barrier, she offered to play music at a rest stop for participants. As she set off to hike up the side of the mountain with a guitar on her back, it became clear to her that music was calling again. When asked what that felt like, she says “I really felt like I was walking in a dream. I’d spent years working in non-profit raising money and running logistics on events to fight HIV/AIDS, and on this particular day I was doing so with my first love, music. It was a profoundly spiritual moment.”

2015 has proven to be the year she returned to music. Having played shows in Florida, Texas, New York, Oregon, and California she has taken the biggest leap of her career: To stand in front of audience with herself, a guitar and her songs.

45 Miles is a grand reentrance and is looking to be the perfect vehicle for Lembo to build her band and get back out onto the stages she so loves.
