Kat Riggins is a blues lady by heart, but she also draws on R&B, soul, gospel and rock’n’roll. Her voice is often compared to the likes of Koko Taylor, Tina Turner and Janis Joplin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in Miami, Florida, she was unknown in Europe when she started touring here in 2015. The Netherlands has been a main focus for her, and she has been backed by the Dutch band Blues Revival since 2017. They are also backing her on her sixth album, “Revival”, which was released a year ago – with ten songs written by Riggins and producer and bassist Tim Mulberry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riggins’ stated goal with her music is to help “preserve the endangered species called the blues”. She doesn’t just want you to hear the music, she wants you to feel it. We welcome her to Dark Season Blues!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
