Liz Derringer

Liz Derringer is a legendary music journalist and was once married to equally legendary musician guitarist Rick Derringer in what was one of the most celebrated partnership in rock and roll history. Liz got her start writing for Andy Warhol's Interview Magazine. Later wrote for other publication's as New York City's Daily News. She also covered the entertainment scene for CNN. Her interviews include such familiar faces as Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart and Debby Harry. Over the years she has created a strong friendship with most of these notables. As celebrity publicist she shared a past with some, like Steven Tyler. She went to school with Tyler, introduced him to Bebe Buell mother of actress Liv Tyler and God daughter to Liz. New York in the 60's was party central. Liz Derringer was seen at most of these places where she witnessed rock history from the British blues bands to rock icon Jimi Hendrix. At Max's Kansas City the allure grew as culture shifted to the glam rock era and the post beat culture of Patti Smith. I have fond recollections of watching Liz on Public Access Television. In the post 2000 era television is full of young celebrity hostesses and journalists - they owe a lot to Liz Derringer. Liz has been at the forefront witnessing trends in fashion, pop culture and entertainment for a long time. Being Rick Derringer's wife all these years sharing in love gave her entrance into a whole new world which defined her and later has since encouraged another life in public relations and celebrity related events
