Girl To City: A Memoir

GIRL TO CITY follows one young womans 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.
