Nashville Publicist Kim Fowler Passes Away

September 19, 2025/by LB Cantrell

Kim Fowler

Nashville music publicist Kim Fowler has passed away at the age of 58, following a long battle with early-onset dementia.

Over the course of three decades in the music industry, Fowler worked with artists including Dolly Parton, Shania Twain and Nickel Creek. She began her career at Mercury Records in the early ’90s, where she handled publicity for Twain, Toby Keith and Billy Ray Cyrus, among others. Later, at Sugar Hill Records, she played a key role in helping Nickel Creek break onto the bluegrass and folk scene.

An active member of Nashville’s Americana community, Fowler was known for her passion for music and dedication to the artists she represented.

In recent years, as she faced her illness, the music community rallied around Fowler and her family, including through a GoFundMe campaign to support her care.

Services have not yet been announced.
