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. 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 evocative self-penned albums, including the spankin’ new “REVIVAL,” Kat Riggins is keeping the blues alive and helping it thrive.

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

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

She has been compared vocally to Koko Taylor, Etta James and Tina Turner, but Kat’s delivery is 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, making each person in her audience feel as if she is speaking directly to them. Blues Revivals are interactive and personal no matter how large the crowd.
