Biography
11th Story is the married duo of Lora Nigro and Kevin Rutkowski whose serendipitous encounter at a local poetry reading ignited a life long quest for meaning channeled through their songwriting collaboration, studio recordings and documentary film making excursions. The cryptic yet sensual quality elucidated by Nigro's songs "refuses to be pigeon-holed" by the industry's propensity for narrow categorization.
Their lushly orchestral debut LP, "I Am" produced by Vincent Gaudes and mastered by 12 time Grammy awarded Mastering Engineer, Bob Ludwig was meticulously crafted over a four year period with Emmy winning composer, Peter Buffett and multi-instrumentalist Rob McWilliam, whose swooning stand-up and stick bass bridged the original lineup, "Sometimes Y". The band followed up with the LP "That's Not What I Heard" and performed throughout the midwest.
As 11th Story, they continually produce fresh, genre-fluid material while enjoying panoramic sunsets with Pan, their Russian Blue.
