Amy comes out from behind the bar at Spotty Dog to turn it up with her trio: Eric Goulden on bass & guitar and Doug Wygal on drums. A teenage denizen of CBGB who fell in love with country songwriting, Amy Rigby started bands Last Roundup and the Shams in NYC’s East Village before launching a solo career with 90s classic concept album Diary Of A Mod Housewife. She tackles themes often associated with country and folk— getting by; getting older— from an ardent rock music fan’s perspective. Her song Don't Break The Heart has been recorded by Laura Cantrell and They Might Be Giants’ John Flansburgh, and All I Want by Ronnie Spector. Amy has contributed writing to the Village Voice, Talkhouse and Slate. Her first book, Girl To City: A Memoir was published in 2019. She lives, writes and records in Catskill, New York with her husband and sometime bandmate Wreckless Eric, and tours regularly in the US and UK. “… a woman who's fully lived a rock and roll existence, from footloose bohemian youth through motherhood and marriages, and is still out there spinning tales made of whimsy and sudden shining insight. —Ann Powers, KNPR   “Singer-songwriter…doesn’t fully describe Rigby’s immense gifts and her devotion to the kind of pop and rock music that singer-songwriters often neglect.” —Nashville Scene   “…one of the country’s best songwriters, with a mordant wit and keen eye for emotional detail.” —Chicago Reader   amyrigby.com diaryofamyrigby.wordpress.com https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/girl-to-city-a-memoir/id1505603442 https://twitter.com/AmyRigby https://www.instagram.com/amymrigby/ https://www.npr.org/2020/01/28/800071527/i-was-singing-for-my-life-amy-rigby-on-mixing-music-and-motherhood Terry Gross for Fresh Air interview
