About Me

Piano animal Rory Stitt's live performances have been described as "Sit-downs with a Living Room Lover," where he is "all intimacy and spark, igniting a fire for the grand and theatrical history of the piano/singer relationship." Rory's knack for captivating a crowd has taken him in all directions, from fledgling concert pianist to the lead in "HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH." An interdisciplinary artist with a knack for capturing the soul of his audiences, he is a ride to be taken.www.sonicbids.com/rorymerrittstitt

Long As I Can Grow It

My Hair. Has seen a wealth of action this year. I've worn five wigs, had it shorn and now shagged. I had Christmas Carol chops. A partial goatee. Baby soft to scratchy patchy. And let's not even start...

Wigdom.

Laid to rest. For a second time. I'm not sad, it's a big wig to fill and everytime I put it on I wonder in the deepest part of myself where I get off thinking I have what it takes or the energy to br...

Those Were The Days

I'm Felicia

There I was, drinking Rojo (now discontinued due to a strange circumstance involving the legality of red wine being called "Red," regardless of language apparently) as I prepare to sing another song t...

The Mysterious Sound of Surrender

Aha- there it is creeping round the corner of my ears as I finally start to let go of the bullshit resentment I have towards having to work, even at something I inherently love. Will my laziness kill ...
