11th Story

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. Their cryptic yet sensual music refuses to be pigeon-holed and draws from a wealth of genres. 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 with Emmy winning composer, Peter Buffett and multi-instrumentalist Rob McWilliam, whose swooning stand-up and stick bass bridged the original lineup. "Sometimes Y" followed up with the LP "That's Not What I Heard", snatched two WAMI (Wisconsin Area Music Industry) ​awards and performing in venues around the midwest. As 11th Story, they continue to produce fresh, genre-fluid music alongside their documentary film making projects. Their latest EP, ‘Revelation’, is a series of quirky songs infused with curiosity about the nature of mind, social justice and antiquity. Their civil rights documentary “Fighting Priest: Father James Groppi” is currently in production. More about us: www.11thStory.com
