Amy Rigby Reading and Performance

  • Grimey's New and Preloved Music 1060 East Trinity Lane Nashville, TN, 37216 United States (map)

Girl to City is a new memoir from songwriter, musician and former Nashville resident Amy Rigby. The book follows Rigby's progression from Elton John fan in the Pittsburgh suburbs to Manhattan art student; from punk show habitué to fledgling musician to cult singer-songwriter who caused a sensation with 1996 debut solo album Diary Of A Mod Housewife. Set in a ramshackle twentieth century New York world of homemade clubs and bands, through love affairs, temp jobs and motherhood, Girl To City describes the screw-ups and charmed moments it took for a girl in the crowd at CBGB to pick up a guitar and sing her truth on stage. Recommended for anyone who ever imagined trying to make a life out of what they love. Amy Rigby will be on hand at Grimey's to read from Girl To City, play songs and sign books on Tuesday, October 22 at 6PM.
