- Music
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.

Factory Of Dreams
Getting photos taken to publicize a new album, it's almost like being in showbiz. Looking forward to my release date in August 2024, and looking back at an album photo shoot for The Sugar Tree (a fan on Bandcamp calls the cover "one of the worst I've ever seen"! I agree that's one awful font but Jim Herrington's photo is quite striking)Nashville in the year 2000, with an excerpt from Girl To Country work in progress and a snippet of music from that album.https://theamyrigby.bandcamp.com...
