I first met Kim Richey when I was a student at the Berklee College of Music and made a special trip down to Nashville with a group of students. She was a guest speaker at a studio in Nashville’s Music Row. Kim’s down to earth persona and stories of coming to music later in life were inspiring. As her career progressed, she wrote songs that eventually found their way to artists like Trisha Yearwood and the Dixie Chicks—and garnered her a Grammy nomination. She comes to town on Sunday, April 15 to promote her latest album Edgeland and to perform as part of our Live at The Loft series.

My writers block was real, there was so many great parts of this year, I didn’t know where to start. So I turned to my tried and true writer’s block cure. I put Taylor Swift’s, new album on and just started writing. Soooo I hope you’re ...Ready For It, here is my year in review.Read More

We all have people on our lists who are impossible to shop for. People who already have everything. As I scroll through endless list proclaiming to have the perfect gift for even the hardest to shop for people on my list, I’m still at a loss.
