Kim Archer and Champagne Sunday
When these two powerhouse acts teamed up and performed together for Tacoma’s Summer Concert Series Finale, it was the wet dream performance Tacoma had been waiting for. . .
Now, they’re hitting the road together, performing separately and as one; the best of both worlds. You get a little Kim, a little Champagne Sunday, then a face-melting All-In set.
Blasting down the West Coast through Washington, Oregon, and California, then into Arizona, this traveling show with heft, power, and presence promises to leave a lasting impression on audiences all along the route.
