OTBKB Music: Wreckless Eric and Amy Rigby Tonight

There are many reasons beside the music to head over to the Lakeside Lounge on the Lower East Side tonight to see Wreckless Eric and Amy Rigby.  Here are just a few:

Historic: Wreckless Eric is one of the original crew over at Stiff Records back in the 70s, who hit the airwaves with Take the Cash, Whole Wide World and Hit 'n' Miss Judy.

Romantic:  Eric and Amy met on night in England when the local promoter, knowing that Amy was performing Eric's Whole Wide World in her show, invited Eric to be there.

Geographic: Amy lived here, first on the Lower East Side and then in Williamsburg, for more than 20 years.  She's one of our own and has the outlook on life to prove it.

Bloggistic (yeah I know that it's not a word, but maybe it should be): When not writing songs, Amy is a fantastic blogger about the usual things, which in her case not only include life, love and family but also the trials and tribulations of an American musician living with her English musician husband in rural France.  And I'll note for the record that Amy's blog, The Diary of Amy Rigby, has a link to this very blog.

So this two person rock 'n' roll band will be pulling into The Lakeside tonight.  Expect the songs to be a combination of yours, mine and ours.  The show starts around 9:30, but this show will probably fill the tiny place quickly so get there early.

Wreckless Eric and Amy Rigby, Lakeside Lounge, Avenue B and 10th Street, 9:30 (F Train to 14th Street, transfer to either the 14A or 14D bus, exit at 10th Street (14A) or 11th Street (14D) and walk to Avenue B). No cover.
