Hello Coffee House Friends,
Please join us Saturday Dec.1st for a concert with
Amy Rigby!
The first time we heard an Amy Rigby song, it was sung by one of our open mic performers. We thought wow, who is this Amy Rigby person?!
We are so excited to welcome her to the Ripton Community Coffee House!
Amy Rigby has made a life out of writing and singing about life. For the last twenty years she has toured the US, Canada, UK and Europe, appearing on Fresh Air with Terry Gross, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, World Cafe, Whad'Ya Know, All Things Considered, BBC Radio 6 Music's Marc Riley Show and Mountain Stage.
She's been a panelist and performer at CMJ, South by Southwest, Bumbershoot, Lilith Fair, Rockrgrl, Folk Alliance and Southern Festival Of Books conferences, and has had her portrait drawn for the New Yorker. She was also a staff songwriter for Welk Music in Nashville and has had songs covered by They Might Be Giants, Ronnie Spector, Maria Doyle Kennedy and Laura Cantrell and used in film and TV.
"Her whimsical, often autobiographical songs are masterful. Funny and enticing, she is up there with the likes of Paul Simon and Randy Newman."-New York Times
"Rigby combines formidable aural craftsmanship with blunt, self-deprecating honesty."- Village Voice
