KIMBERLY BOURGEOIS
with special guest
DREA LAKE
Saturday, March 7, 2026, Doors 4 PM
Montreal Art Center and Museum: 1832 William Street, Montreal
Whether hiking the wooded trails of Parc du Mont-Royal or wending her way across the city, New Brunswick-born, Montreal artist KIMBERLY BOURGEOIS seeks the magic in the mundane, and, on such evocative land, never comes up short. With her forthcoming EP, Eyes Kissed by Snow, the singer-songwriter beckons you off the beaten path, inviting you on a journey where Nature leans into the urban landscape and stirs your inner wild.
Awestruck by the natural world, Kimberly gets equally jazzed by urban environments, where so many creatives converge. It’s thanks to city life that she met the musicians and bandmates who helped shape the sound of her two first EPs, independently released under the name KIMBERLY & THE DREAMTIME (2011 and 2016).
Eyes Kissed by Snow takes a gentle detour from the rock songs on Kimberly & the Dreamtime’s 2016 Heart Wave EP. On this latest offering, the singer-songwriter’s enveloping voice and vivid lyrics are heightened by additional instrumentation performed and arranged by Scott Diffee, her sole musical collaborator on this four-track EP, which features elegant cover art by Serena Grisi.
Celebrating her new release on March 7, 2026, Kimberly Bourgeois will be accompanied by Scott Diffee on guitar, rendering a poetic, acoustic set that echoes two recurring themes on Eyes Kissed by Snow: Nature and travel as catalysts for personal transformation.
Supporting act: DREA LAKE
Hailing from Elora, Ontario, genre-bending folk artist DREA LAKE will set the tone with an opener you won’t want to miss. Known for soaring vocals, adventurous guitar hooks and heartfelt songs, the singer-songwriter creates a warm and intimate concert experience. Michael Park of the International Americana Music Show listed Drea’s debut album A Call from Somewhere Else as among the best albums in 2025 in Canada, England, Scotland and Australia.

MUSIC NEWS
Montreal-based singer-songwriter Kimberly Bourgeois is releasing “Marilyn” on September 20, 2021, a song composed by poet, novelist and singer-songwriter Bob Jensen (https://firsttimesinceaugust.tumblr.com), also known for his PEI-based booking agency, Jensen Music International. Here, lush musical arrangements by multi-instrumentalist Réjean Arseneault support Bourgeois’ warm vocals and Jensen’s storyteller flair, while evocative cover art by Geneviève Cygan further elevates this moving song about an unforgettable friendship.
Born in Moncton, N.B., Kimberly Bourgeois has lived in five Canadian provinces and spent more than half her life in Montreal, Quebec, where she’s met and collaborated with many gifted musicians, resulting in the independent release of two EPs (2011 and 2016) under the project name Kimberly and the Dreamtime (https://kimberlyandthedreamtime.com). With her band, she has performed regularly over the years in Montreal clubs, galleries, cafés and concert halls, and her songs and poetry have frequently been featured on local radio stations. While she completes a third EP, Bourgeois is excited to take things to the international level as her cover of “Marilyn” is set to be released to radio in 22 countries around the world.
