The Spire Lobby series showcases local and regional musicians in a relaxed and intimate setting.
 KIM RICHEY
                                The lobby is transformed into a 70-seat showcase lounge.
 The  way  Richey  was  used  to  making  records  was  with  friends  in  a
 vibed-out, low-key setting. That’s how she made her debut album with
 Richard  Bennett,  and  it’s  how  she  made  her  new  album,   Long  Way

 Back…  The  Songs  of  Glimmer,   with  Doug  Lancio.  So  Glimmer  was
 different, and not just on the production side.

 Then,  as  now,  the  compositions  that  comprise   Glimmer  were  the
 Grammy-nominated  singer/songwriter’s  first  collection  of  true
 confessionals.  Prior  to  that  she’d  been  a  staff  writer  at  Blue  Water
 Music writing from a more arm’s-length vantage point for her first two
 releases,  1995’s   Kim  Richey   and  1997’s  B itter  Sweet .  But   Glimmer
 was all her.
