| Book Description | GIRL TO CITY follows one young woman'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, creating an identity as an artist back when female musician role models were still rare. For anyone who ever imagined trying to make a life out of what they love. |
| Editorial Review | "...an instant classic." Big Takeover "I'm beyond excited about Girl To City, a gorgeously written memoir that resounds with Rigby's signature vulnerability and rueful wit." -- Claire Dederer, author of New York Times bestselling memoir Poser: My Life In Twenty-Three Yoga Poses "Amy Rigby writes the way she performs and sings, laced with insight, humor, self awareness, and above all, heart." -- Lenny Kaye, musician, producer, author "It's a big season for music memoirs, especially by women...The question is: Will any of them turn out to be as good as Girl To City? Philadelphia Inquirer "If every musician with a story to tell could write a book this great, ghostwriters would be out of a job...You can feel the distortion, smell the damp, see the clothes, hear the guitars."
