about

Peter Rugh, together with producer Derek Brown, recorded
“The Old International” at a shuttered burlesque club on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. The song is Rugh’s ode to his favorite dive bar—closed at the time it was written due to the pandemic—and to the wild and lonesome renegades who drink and work there.

When Brown heard a demo of the song, he insisted the pair take advantage of the cathedral-like acoustics at the Slipper Room, a vaudeville theatre a few blocks down from the dive that was also closed in the spring of 2020. The result: a beguiling tribute to a neighborhood haunt.
