Amy Rigby

Amy Rigby has established herself one of America's enduring underground/cult/indie artists, combining the insight and humour of country and folk songwriting with classic rock craftsmanship and punk DIY spirit.

Here are eleven up to the minute songs written by Amy and recorded by Wreckless Eric at the couples home in upstate NY, Hang In There With Me is a bracing look at life in- side the vortex of the last few years. Mortality, aging and youthful missteps refracted through Amy's insightful lyricism emerge not wistful but resolute even triumphant. Rigby's distinctive voice bluntly traverses love, loss and DIY projects gone wrong over guitars cranked or shimmering, indelible bass lines, a raft of synthesisers, keyboards, beat boxes and the occasional drummer allowed into Amy & Erics rustic mid-century echo chamber. Like some people turn to the moon and stars for inspiration, Amy Rigby looks to creative heroes like Bob Dylan and Mike Leigh. She finds poetry in haircuts, live chat boxes; bartending and bookselling. Her music is the sound of everyday people getting by, just like the country artists she loved and learned to write songs from.
