The Bop Shop will host a performance by Amy Rigby and a Book Signing of her new book, Girl To City: A Memoir.

Amy Rigby has made a life out of writing and singing about life. With bands Last Roundup and the Shams in eighties NYC East Village to her solo debut Diary Of A Mod Housewife out of nineties Williamsburg; through a songwriting career in 2000s Nashville and during the past decade with duo partner Wreckless Eric, she's released records on visionary independent labels Rounder, Matador, Signature Sounds and reborn Stiff Records as well as her and Eric's own Southern Domestic Recordings. For the last twenty years she has toured the U.S., Canada, U.K. 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 lives with Wreckless Eric in the Hudson Valley. Her record "Dancing With Joey Ramone" is a staple of Little Steven's Underground Garage radio show, and kitchen sink anthem "Are We Ever Gonna Have Sex Again?" is played in cafes and bars around the country by real life mod housewives and husbands.
