London-based Piney Gir originally hails from Kansas and has for many years been a prolific and prodigious musician, spanning various genres from electro to alt-country to folktronic to 60’s retro pop to krautrock. She ihas been a darling of the BBC and UK live circuit for over a decade now.  Recently she has sung with Noel Gallagher, toured the world with Gaz Coombes as one of his backing singers and also as a support act, appearing on Jools Holland's 'Later' as well as James Cordon's 'Late Late Show.'  The new Piney album was released in 2019, meanwhile she's very keen to share her enthusiasm for music and for books & libraries with this new project "The Story of Piney Gir." One of the questions she gets asked a lot is 'how did you get your name?' "The real answer," she says, "is that I made it up for myself when I was about 2 years old, nobody knows exactly where it came from... my strange brain, I guess."  But what sparked from this conversation was a fictional story about how Piney got her name.  It involves floating above the clouds and encountering all sorts of crazy creatures, animals and wize wizardy people to discover her true self (of course she had that power all along, but needed to go on this journey to figure it out). The end product is an audio book that is kind of like Pippi Longstocking meets Peter and the Wolf.
