Sam Riggs

Sam Riggs could be a transplant to Austin, Tx but with this music group, the night time People, the vocalist/songwriter creates a dusty, muscular racquet that’s unmistakably Crimson Dirt Nation. Riggs demonstrates hook inclination for big, poppy anthems — a audio that displays his early like of Garth Brooks — that individual him from all of those other Red Dirt performers, but his sensibility continues to be anchored in the defiant soul of Tx. A indigenous of central Florida, Riggs relocated to Austin at age 19 in 2007. Functioning manual labor, he’d also perform at regional cafes and pubs, workshopping his tunes. This year 2010, he released his debut EP, Hairpin Result in Heart, which gained some regional airplay on Austin’s regional KVET train station. Another EP known as Lighthouse adopted in 2012, and then created the supporting music group the night time People, liberating the full-length Outrun sunlight in 2013. More than the next couple of years, constant function helped grow his target audience, establishing the stage for the discharge of his second recording, Breathless, in Feb 2016.
