Kim Richey

Acclaimed singer-songwriter

Pavilion

From her critically acclaimed self-titled 1995 debut to Long Way Back… The Songs of Glimmer in 2020, Richey has consistently impressed listeners, garnered accolades and attracted famous fans with her deft songwriting and crystalline vocals, both of which have made her an in-demand collaborator.

Richey has penned No.1 hits for Radney Foster (“Nobody Wins”) and Trisha Yearwood (“Believe Me Baby (I Lied)”)—the latter earning her a Grammy nomination for Best Country Song—as well as songs for Mary Chapin Carpenter, Patty Loveless and Brooks and Dunn, among others. Her voice has graced scores of recordings, providing peerless harmonies, including Jason Isbell’s watershed Southeastern, Trisha Yearwood’s Everybody Knows, Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams, Reba McEntire’s Starting Over, and Has Been by Captain Kirk himself, William Shatner. Most recently, Richey co-headlined a night of Brandi Carlile’s “Girls Just Wanna Weekend Festival in Mexico,” sharing the stage with a wide range of artists, including Carlile (who cites Richey as a formative influence), Brandy Clark, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Annie Lennox, Allison Russell and Sarah McLachlan. She was also a special guest at Jason Isbell’s annual Ryman Auditorium residency, sitting in to reprise her role for the anniversary performance of Southeastern. In 2026, Richey hits the road in the U.S. and Europe in support of her latest album, Every New Beginning.
