Kat Riggins – 8/7

"Not unreconstructed but not modern just for the sake of it…The spiritual granddaughter of Koko Taylor and southern blues show bands, Riggins has the stone cold knack for hitting it out of the park that would make all the blues greats before her quite proud." - Midwest Records

Inspired by a rich tapestry of musical genres, Kat Riggins’ music pays homage to R&B, soul, gospel, and rock ’n’ roll. At her core, Kat is undeniably a BLUES WOMAN and leads a Blues Revival Movement aimed at awakening the world to the depth and authenticity of blues music. Her powerhouse voice, often likened to Koko Taylor and Tina Turner, drives high-energy soul shakers and heart-rending ballads. Through her dynamic live show and self-penned albums, including the spankin’ new "REVIVAL," Kat Riggins works to keep the blues alive and thriving.

"The diminutive Ms. Riggins may be small in stature, but she’s blessed with a powerhouse voice that will grab listeners." – Graham Clarke

She has been compared vocally to Koko Taylor, Etta James and Tina Turner, though she has a delivery all her own. Full of power, rasp and grit, she can belt out contemporary blues originals one minute and deliver a tender, sultry standard the next. Kat makes each person in her audience feel as if she is speaking directly to them. Blues Revivals are interactive and personal no matter the crowd size; that intimacy is what makes each show memorable for both audience and performer.

"A petite vocalist with a potent delivery and electrifying voice, Kat Riggins holds nothing back…" - Blues Blast Magazine
