Girl to Country: A Memoir Amy Rigby
Look out for an afternoon with Amy playing songs and reading at the Doublet on Saturday June 13th!
Broken-down vehicles. Premenopausal libido. A punk rock-loving teen to share the culture shock with. I don’t think Hank done it this way.
A few years after her 1996 breakthrough album Diary Of A Mod Housewife, singer/songwriter Amy Rigby is still figuring out who she is. Closing in on forty, a newly-divorced mom trying to tour, work temp jobs, and keep a car running, Amy is ready for a change. She trades her beloved NYC for Nashville, where she navigates music, men and motherhood to learn the hard way that outside validation is no substitute for self-belief.
“A rocking, rolling journey from new-wave New York, through Nashville, on to England …moving and very funny.”- Nick Dalton (Record Collector)
“As compelling a storyteller on the page as she is on the stage, Rigby is an engaging and likeable narrator, disarmingly frank and funny whether discussing sex, parenthood and family dysfunction or the trials and doubts of an independent touring musician…” - Ben Graham (Shindig)
“Amy Rigby’s unfiltered self-portrait is a testament to friendship, the power of songs, the corrosive effects of bad boyfriends and the possibility of finding true love in middle age.” Jim Wirth (Mojo Magazine)
