By Lydia Nadal — More than once I have heard that a handshake is better than an autograph. But I’d like to think that most people would prefer a cup of coffee to a handshake.
It’s Valentine’s Day, and I have arranged for my husband, photographer Brett Nadal, to meet for a drink and a few portraits of one of today’s, arguably, more romantic songwriters and self-proclaimed, underground performing musicians, Vic Ruggiero. A writer and lover of his work, I have come along to get a glimpse into the personal life of someone as elusive and intriguing as Vic.
Vic Ruggiero’s multifaceted handy work can be heard on over 100 albums, recording with artists like, Rancid, Pink, The Pietasters, The Transplants, and his own world-renowned group, The Slackers.
