Meet Singer-Songwriter Kim Richey

A former professional chef, Kim Richey got her first record deal when she was nearly 40 years old, but that hasn't stood in the way of having a successful career. She's co-written hits for Trisha Yearwood and Radney Foster and written songs for Dixie Chicks, Jim Lauderdale, Brooks & Dunn and Patty Loveless. Her vocals also appear on albums by Ryan Adams and Shawn Colvin. Tonight at 7 at the Parma-Snow Branch of the Cuyahoga County Public Library, she'll talk about her career and perform some songs too. Local singer-songwriter Marti Jones will join her. Jones signed to A&M records in the 1980s and released three albums that "helped define the trajectory of Americana." Check the library website for more details. (Niesel)
