Country-folk singer Kim Richey wrote big ol’ hits for other artists like Trisha Yearwood’s “Believe Me Baby (I Lied)” and Brooks and Dunn’s “Every River” in addition to her own successful career.
Richey’s first single, “Just My Luck” from her 1995 self-titled album, hit the Top 50 of the U.S. Country charts and is exploding with that “Reality Bites” meets “Felicity” soundtrack vibes—except a little more country. Jason Isbell fans might also recognize Richey’s vocals, as she harmonized with Isbell’s wife Highwoman Amanda Shires on songs from his Southeastern album.
Though this gig is a tabled event, you can buy individual tickets—you might just have to sit with some strangers. Masks are required, and expect a temperature check at the door.
Kim Richey. Saturday, May 15, 7 p.m. $20-$30. The Attic, at Rock Brothers Brewing Co., Ybor City. theatticyborcity.com
