CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Fans of TV’s “Nashville” know that Striking Matches composed the show’s most popular hit, “When the Right One Comes Along,” among the nine singles the duo wrote for the drama. The fact that the duo of Sarah Zimmerman and Justin Davis released new EP “Retrograde” in February should spark a lot of interest in their show on Saturday, Sept. 29, at Songbirds Guitar Museum, 35 Station St. Show time is 7 p.m. Tickets are $20.
