Diary Of Amy Rigby
Art, aging, identity and overalls. What happens when you realize this thing you started doing for fun in your twenties is your life's work? Amy Rigby has been writing, performing and recording her transcendent songs about the everyday for years, first with bands Last Roundup and the Shams in NYC’s East Village, then as a solo artist beginning with Diary Of A Mod Housewife up through The Old Guys and 2020 single “Vote That Fucker Out” with sometime duo partner Wreckless Eric. Her first book, Girl To City: A Memoir was published in 2019. Her new album Hang In There With Me comes out August 2024.
Diary Of Amy Rigby
I'm An Organ, You're An Organ
Unexpected endings
Goodbyes of all kinds as Eric and I pack up to move. I've included a bit of an old live track from a legendary show at the Mercury Lounge in NYC circa...1994 (?) put together by dear recently departed Jeremy Tepper and his band the World Famous Blue Jays - giving it my best blues rock shouting to keep up with what must've been about ten musicians onstage. Everyone chose or wrote a song in keeping with the theme Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, glad I have this memento from a fun era...ps there is no organ (but a helluva lot of saxophone)
Thanks for listening!
