For our first Wild Honey Backyard show of 2025, we so happy to have our friend Amy Rigby back to play songs from her new record and select tunes from her incredible catalog of songs! Music begins at 4pm. Doors at 330. Tickets are $20 for seated GA and $40 with unlimited food and non-alcoholic beverages. Plenty of street parking.
Amy Rigby has established herself one of America’s enduring underground/cult/indie artists, combining the insight and humor of country and folk songwriting with classic rock craftsmanship and punk DIY spirit. Raised in Pittsburgh, schooled in late 70s lower Manhattan, she formed pre-Americana country band Last Roundup and Richard Hell’s favorite girl group the Shams in NYC's East Village before launching a solo career with 90s classic album 
Diary Of A Mod Housewife
.
Amy’s honest, kinetic songwriting has earned her praise from critics (“pithy wisdom, acerbic pen and sterling American guitar classicism” MOJO) and other artists: “Think Randy Newman and Loudon Wainwright, at their best,” says Steve Earle. Her songs have been covered by Laura Cantrell, Ronnie Spector and John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants. Her 2019 memoir 
Girl To City
 was called “an instant classic” by The Big Takeover. “You can smell the damp, see the clothes, hear the guitars!” says Goldmine.
New album 
Hang In There With Me
 (Tapete) is eleven up to the minute songs written by Amy and recorded by husband Wreckless Eric. 
Hang In There With Me
 is a bracing look at life inside 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.
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.
Amy spent Autumn 2024 touring the US and UK and looks forward to a few more US shows , including kicking off this year's Wild Honey Backyard series in Los Angeles on Sunday April 20th.
Praise for 
Hang In There With Me
:
“…a triumph of wit, guts and perseverance over the forces of death, chaos, passing time and worldly misfortune.” —Shindig
“…a rollercoaster ride of a record, full of off-the-wall lyrics, angst and humour amid jagged guitars, thumping drums and electronica yet with a melodic, poppy underswirl. —Record Collector
“…still one of the true masters of her craft.” —No Depression
“Nearly 30 years after the landmark 
Diary Of A Mod Housewife
, Rigby’s ingenuity, pensiveness, and drollery are as intact as ever.” —ArtsFuse
“
Hang In There With Me
 
is an absolute masterpiece, a career best, a stand-out within and outside its genre.” —Louder Than War
