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’ soul-stirring music pays homage to R&B, soul, gospel, and rock n roll. Yet, at her core, Kat is undeniably a BLUES WOMAN. She’s on a global mission with her Blues Revival Movement, aiming to awaken the world to the depth and authenticity of blues music. Kat’s powerhouse voice, often likened to iconic greats like Koko Taylor and Tina Turner, drives high-energy soul shakers and heart-rending ballads. Through her dynamic live show and her self-penned albums, including the spankin' new REVIVAL, Kat Riggins is keeping the blues alive and ensuring it thrives.

“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 vocally compared to Koko Taylor, Etta James and Tina Turner. While influenced by those icons, Mrs. Riggins has a voice and delivery all her own: full of power, rasp and grit. She can belt out a contemporary blues original one minute, then deliver a tender, sultry standard the next, all while making each person in the audience feel as if she is speaking directly to them. Blues Revivals are interactive and personal no matter the crowd size, and that intimacy is what makes every Blues Revival a memorable experience for both audience and performer.

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