Inspired by the variety and abundance of music in her parents’ collection, it makes sense that her own music is peppered with hints of it all. Make no mistake; however, Kat Riggins is undeniably a BLUES WOMAN! She travels the world with the sole mission of keeping the blues alive & thriving through her #BluesRevivalMovement. “It’s about the raw emotion in every note”, exclaims Kat. Backed by a dynamic band, she invokes said emotion through high energy soul shakers and heart breaking ballads. “If I can move someone to feel what I feel when I sing a song, then it's all worth it", says the Miami born singer-songwriter. The diminutive Mrs. Riggins is small in stature, but she’s blessed with a powerhouse voice that will grab listeners! She has been compared to Koko Taylor, Etta James and Tina Turner . While obviously influenced by those icons, Kat Riggins has a voice and delivery all her own. Full of power, rasp and grit she can belt out one of her contemporary blues originals one minute, then deliver a tender, sultry standard the next, all while making each person in her audience feel as if she is speaking directly to them. She holds nothing back! Not unreconstructed but not modern just for the sake of it, Riggins has the stone cold knack for hitting it out of the park that would make all the blues greats before her quite proud. With 5 self penned projects under her belt, 2 of which she released on Mike Zito's Gulf Coast Records, this award winning artist is one to watch!
