RECENT HIGHLIGHTS: **Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk Finalist, competing end of May **Opened for Loudon Wainwright III in Nov 2009 **Winner of the 61st Annual Ozark Folk Festival Songwriting Contest, Nov 2008 **Mountain Stage New Song Contest – Southeast regional finalist, Fall 2007 **Opened for Gretchen Peters, Sara Hickman, and Beth Wood **Performed in December 2008 with Hall of Fame songwriter Matraca Berg and hit songwriters Deanna Bryant and Marcia Ramirez in Nashville "To share my songs and stories with folks who are looking to escape for a couple of hours is pure joy. And when I get a heartfelt note from a fan relaying how important one of my songs has been to them as they celebrate/mourn/contemplate/get dressed in the morning…that’s what this is all about." -Kim Richardson A performing songwriter, who thrives on involving the audience, Richardson encourages her fans to "experience" her shows rather than just watch and listen. Her songs live with a lot of humor and attitude, accompanied by a percussive acoustic guitar. Based in Mountain Home, AR, she tours throughout the SE playing music venues and house concerts. Richardson has self-released two cds and is currently working on a third.
