KIM RICHEY is returning to Europe in May ’24 to promote an new album which will be being released by Yep Roc Records.
An Ohio native, Kim Richey, in the world of independent touring singer-songwriters is a life long traveler, musically, physically, & emotionally. Kim has worked with a who’s who of artists/ producers… attracting a coterie of top-shelf genre-definers… Jason Isbell, Trisha Yearwood, Chuck Prophet, Carl Broemel (My Morning Jacket), Pat Sansone (Wilco)…for her critically-lauded projects… and also singing on records for Ryan Adams, Shawn Colvin, Isbell and Rodney Crowell and many others.Over the years as a songwriter, Kim has written No.1 hits for Radney Foster (“Nobody Wins”) and Trisha Yearwood (“Believe Me Baby”), the latter for which she was Grammy-nominated, as well as songs for Mary Chapin Carpenter, Gretchen Peters, Patty Loveless, Brooks and Dunn and many more.
She is the real deal. A single genre has never defined her career. Her delivery can have a hint of folk, country, blues, roots, gospel… Yet, when you hear the first few notes of a Kim Richey song you know you’re in for a great ride; warm, expressive, melodic songs. Her music never disappoints.
Kim has invited Carla J Easton to open her show here in Newcastle. Carla is an award nominated singer-songwriter, releasing 3 critically acclaimed albums, writing for TeenCanteen, Belle & Sebastian, BMX Bandits, Hen Hoose & National Theatre Scotland. Championed by BBC6 Music, she has performed at festivals across the UK and internationally (SXSW, Pop Montreal, The Great Escape, Celtic Connections, Indiefjord and Pop Cologne) touring the UK with Camera Obscura, The Vaselines and Aidan Moffat.
