Description

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 F****r 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.

Once More For The First Time

2026/01/07

Getting the spirit Hope it's not too late for a holiday story, a bus ride in the aftermath And a few notes of a UK Christmas classic

Every Picture Tells A Story

2025/12/23

Learning to love the story the picture wants to tell Time for a new photo means one more chance to be kind to ourselves, or I was so much younger then, I'm older than that now. A little instrumental expression, I've been immersed in book writing and publishing for a while and trying to remember how to play

Open

When young blood is nearing forty...listening to Lily Allen on the train and the beach. Thinking about playing an open mic, and working up a song. And stay tuned for Girl To Country: A Memoir podcast!

Oh Go On Then

2025/11/28

Some trifle. A period of adjustment — Britishisms A classic Doc Marten monkey boot, I believe English policemen used to wear these

Stage Fright

2025/09/03

Trying it on... A trip to Liberty, preparing for the role of Mother of the Bride. This was a nice chance to use a Shams track, called Dressed To Kill.

Feels Like Home

2025/08/06

Sense memory past and present... Played a festival, went boating, finished a book, had a barbq—my first English summer.

An Excitement of Peaches

2025/07/15

Good things about growing old(er) Summer in England: gardens, peaches and pulling the plug on Too Much early (too early?) and a poem about being here: A Yank In North Walsham

The End...At Last

2025/07/03

All the English summer stuff (bits n bobs?) and advice for my new memoir I didn't know I needed from Keith McNally. Plus a bit of a Pulp cover.

This Whole World

2025/06/13

I was going to talk about summer in England, but Brian Wilson is gone, every fan has their own Beach Boys

For Better Or Wurst

2025/05/28

On the rails...with my first episode in almost a year! Out playing gigs in Sweden and Germany; thinking about Jill Sobule (recorded a bit of one of my favorite songs of hers, felt like I could've written it myself), toughing it out and working on things. Hope you're hanging in there - thanks for finding me here again.

I'm An Organ, You're An Organ

2024/07/15

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!

Are You Ready For The Country

2024/06/09

A visit to the county of Shropshire and a 70th birthday makes me think about the past, long ago and more recent. Eric's pal Dave loves Neil; a cool record store encounter...includes an old favorite.

Your New Life Starts Here

Putting a house up for sale to move across the ocean, trying the change on for size...Soon to be an All American Alien Girl - nothing a little Roger Miller won't fix.

Blowing Up

2024/05/01

A momentous occasion for me, a brand new single and video ON A LABEL (Tapete). Nerd alert! The nuts and bolts of Dylan In Dubuque- song, recording and video. What inspired it, how it got made and out into the world. Hear the demo turn into the record before your eyes or ears! Thanks for listening, you can find the full Dylan In Dubuque single here: https://orcd.co/amyrigby and video here: https://youtu.be/D9iTxYcrB5A?si=if7xdlXuBfSxxAl3

She’s a poet.

Been a fan of Amy’s singing and songwriting for dozen years or more. If the word wry means what I think it does, I’d say that’s what describes her wri...

Give Amy a Chance!

It’s unsurprising though still plenty sad that Amy Rigby is such an unsung treasure of American song. It would be even sadder if the same fate befalls...
