Amy Rigby - Girl To Country Book Launch - Tues June 9th 2026 7pm-9pm

Cult American singer-songwriter Amy Rigby brings her new memoir Girl To Country to Wrecking Ball Music and Books in Hull Tues 9th of June, for an evening of readings and songs followed by book signing. Picking up where her debut Girl To City left off, Girl To Country follows Amy from New York to Nashville and beyond—even making a few stops in Hull along the way. 

“A rocking, rolling journey from new-wave New York, through Nashville, on to England …moving and very funny.”—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…”—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.” — MOJO

Rigby's albums — including 90s classic Diary of a Mod Housewife and 2024's Hang In There With Me have earned praise from critics  (“Singer-songwriter…doesn’t fully describe Rigby’s immense gifts…”—Nashville Scene) and other artists ("Think Randy Newman and Loudon Wainwright, at their best” —Steve Earle). Her songs have been covered by Ronnie Spector, Laura Cantrell and Maria Doyle Kennedy. She and husband / sometime duet partner Wreckless Eric recently relocated from New York to Norfolk UK.
