Grammy nominee <a href="https://kimrichey.com/news/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Kim Richey</a> will perform at <a href="https://www.jsac.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Jersey Shore Arts Center</a> in Ocean Grove on Saturday, May 16th at 8 PM. Jersey Shore songstress <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SharonLasherSings/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Sharon Lasher</a> will open the show. Advance tickets are $30 and can be purchased at <a href="https://www.jerseyshoreartscenter.org/split-level-at-jsac" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.jerseyshoreartscenter.org/split-level-at-jsac</a>. The show marks the finale of this season’s Split Level Concerts Series, which highlights renowned Americana and contemporary folk musicians in a uniquely intimate setting.
Singer-songwriter Kim Richey has built a reputation as one of Americana and roots music’s most respected storytellers, known for her crystalline voice and emotionally resonant songwriting. Born in Zanesville, Ohio, Richey developed her musical voice gradually, drawing inspiration from pop, folk, and country influences before eventually making her way to Nashville. She emerged in the 1990s with a distinctive style that blended country, folk, and pop, earning critical praise for both her writing and her understated vocal delivery. 
Richey first gained attention as a songwriter, co-writing the hit “Nobody Wins” with Radney Foster and later writing songs recorded by artists such as Trisha Yearwood, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Brooks &amp; Dunn. Her work with Yearwood on “Believe Me Baby (I Lied)” earned her a Grammy nomination and established her as a songwriter whose work could cross from the Nashville songwriting rooms to the top of the charts. 
Her 1995 self-titled debut album introduced audiences to her clear, expressive voice and thoughtful writing, with singles such as “Just My Luck” and “Those Words We Said.” Follow-up releases including Bitter Sweet, Glimmer, and Rise expanded her reputation as an artist whose music moved fluidly between country, pop, and folk traditions while maintaining a deeply personal lyrical style. 
Over the years, Richey has released a series of acclaimed albums and collaborated with a wide range of musicians, contributing harmony vocals and songwriting to projects across the Americana and roots world. Her recordings —from Chinese Boxes to her latest full-length, 2024’s Every New Beginning — have appeared on critics’ best-of lists and reinforced her reputation as a songwriter’s songwriter. 
Decades into her career, Richey continues to write and record music that highlights her gift for vivid storytelling and melodic craftsmanship. With a catalog that spans multiple genres and a body of work admired by both fans and fellow artists, she remains a quietly influential figure in contemporary American songwriting. 
Opener Sharon Lasher brings a sultry sizzle to the stage with rich vocals that are both powerful and passionate. Sharon can be heard belting out gritty done-me-wrong rockin’ blues, blending sweet harmonies to make a melody come alive.
