Anse Rigby
Saturday, August 17
Influenced by 90’s country and alternative rock, Rigby has found a home in the singer/songwriter genre. Finding inspiration for his writing style from the likes of Dave Barnes, Ben Rector, Drew Holcomb, and Amos Lee, Anse has transformed the moments in his life into relatable substances of storytelling.
“I draw inspiration from people who need healing. I feel that music and storytelling are so powerful. It encourages others by reminding them that they are not alone in a certain situation. I try to base everything I write around love. The most important thing God has given and should shine out of us.” ~ Rigby
