His brand of entertaining has achieved great success in Canada, the United States, Australia, Iceland and Norway and contains the right blend of entertainment and musicianship that has enabled Kim to fulfill long-term obligations at Sam Slick’s Lounge and Salty’s in Halifax, and was the regular entertainer at White Point Beach Resort for 8 years.
