Manitoba Live Music Event

About

Amy Rigby is an icon. For those of us who have been hip to her music for the last few decades, this is obvious, and for those who will hear her for the first time when they pick up her new solo record, The Old Guys (her first in a dozen years), it will be evident right away. On the album’s masterpiece title track, Rigby sings of the “old guys” who’ve “made a past for the young ones to learn from”. And though she’s referring to a generation of artists that came before her, there must be a slew of young rockers and songwriters out there who count Rigby as an influence, too. Her smart, thoughtful songwriting has been knocking the wind out of listeners since she first came on the scene as a solo artist with her 1996 debut Diary of a Mod Housewife. And though she may be more than 20 years wiser now, that same cheeky, humorous world view we came to know and love still permeates her words.

Admission for this very special night is $25 with all proceeds going to the artist. Advance tickets are available from Stu directly, eith at The StuDome (call before coming) or at the McNally Robinson Booksellers music desk (Tuesday thru Saturday).

We're hoping to confirm an exciting opening act for the show soon too - stay tuned!
