Kim Richey + Will Kimbrough

Johnny D’s

Johnny D's, the little-Davis-Square-club-that-could, kicks off its 40th-anniversary week (more than two lifetimes in the precarious world of live-music presentation) with ace Nashville songwriter Kim Richey, who's penned songs for Mary Chapin Carpenter and Trisha Yearwood including the Yearwood hit "Believe Me Baby (I Lied") and has sung back-up with Ryan Adams, whose Americana slant is perhaps most attuned to Richey's own style. She's joined by frequent collaborator Will Kimbrough at 17 Holland St, Somerville | 9 pm | $10 | 617.776.2004 or www.johnnyds.com.
