Music + poetry at Morgantown Art Party on March 6th as part of Morgantown’s First Fridays!
West Virginia poet and songwriter Tucker Riggleman creates work that is concise, emotional, and rooted in place. His poems have been featured in Dinner Bell, Sky Island Journal, The Hemlock Journal, The Nervous Breakdown, and more. He has performed with the Travelin' Appalachians Revue, participated in projects with the West Virginia Humanities Council, and has read his poems live on the local news, at high school graduations, in rock and roll dives, coffee shops, and DIY venues. Through poetry and performance, Tucker explores themes of sobriety, identity, and the healing power of nature. His writing offers honest glimpses into the complexity and resilience of rural life in Appalachia.
Tucker is a recipient of a 2025 West Virginia Creative Network Literary Arts Fellowship for poetry. His band Tucker Riggleman & The Cheap Dates has been steadily releasing material and touring the region since 2019.
He released his third poetry collection, “The Wind Through the Sycamores is a Violin,” in October 2024.
Free to attend. All ages welcome.
