In The Market for Blues 2024 Headliner
Kat Riggins!
A 2024 Blues Music Award nominee for Soul-Blues Female, Kat Riggins and Her Blues Revival! Kat’s own musical style is a blend of the Blues with elements of all of the genres born from it. Aside from the hip shakin’ fun stuff…Kat writes songs that hope to uplift, enlighten and inspire. Her approach is refreshing and unapologetically authentic.
“A petite vocalist with a potent delivery and electrifying voice, Kat Riggins holds nothing back…”
Mike Zito and Guy Hale welcomed Kat Riggins to their Gulf Coast Records family in 2020. Kat’s debut album on the record label earned the artist her first Blues Music Award nomination. In addition to the BMA nod for Contemporary Blues Album, the “Cry Out” project won Kat two Independent Blues Awards (Contemporary Blues Album and Contemporary Blues Band) and it continues to receive rave reviews! Kat was honored to score her second BMA nomination the following year for Blues Soul Artist female!
Kat’s second release on the label, “Progeny”, debut at #13 on the Billboard Blues charts to critical acclaim! The album got Kat her first Blues Blast Awards nomination and 5 MORE Independent Blues Award nominations! Progeny continues to be well received worldwide, and is said to be the singer- songwriter’s best to date, by critics and fans alike. With these and albums to come, Kat Riggins’s Blues Revival Movement endeavors to be a part of this musical revolution that aims to awaken the masses and introduce them to the sincerity behind Blues music!
Kat Riggins & Her Blues Revival will perform at the Omaha Performing Arts Holland Center Music Club at 8:00 pm. Seating will be provided.
