Kym Gouchie, Gamksimoon to perform in Smithers

Two northern B.C. indigenous artists are set to perform in Smithers at the Della Herman Theatre.

Kym Gouchie from Prince George is a Lheidli T’enneh singer and song writer, 2025 Children’s Album of the Year Juno Award Nominee, and winner of the 2025 Western Canadian Music Awards for Best Children’s Artist.

“I write songs that are relevant to my life in the north, as an intergenerational residential school survivor as my mother and late father attended,” she said.

Her music also touches on the land with how it holds and supports its residents.

Also performing will be Jeremy Pahl, better known as Gamksimoon, who’s worked with Gouchie on her music in the past.

“She did invite me to record guitar, fiddle, banjo, acoustic guitar, a whole bunch of stringed instruments on her last record so I’ll be stoked to play on a couple of those tunes,” he said.

The two have previously performed together both as a band and separately in the past with this being the first time in a while.

The pair will be playing on January 17th with tickets available at Mountain Eagle Books or on the Bulkley Valley Concert Association’s website.
