"Prayerfully, when people listen to my music, they take from it exactly what they need. Whether that's hope, pride, peace, joy, comfort… I want them to be inspired and moved to be better to themselves, to each other, to this planet… I want them to FEEL!"

Florida-based Blues/Soul singer Kat Riggins talks about the late great Dr. Maya Angelou, music and her new album - Blues.Gr

 

Kat Riggins: The new album is "Everyday is Saturday," and as Kat & Her Blues Revival tell it, "Most of us spend the week carrying something...stress,responsibility,expectations...worry.Then Saturday arrives, and for a little while, we give ourselves permission to let it all go.We stay out a little later,laugh a little louder.dance a little harder, and remember what it feels like to simply be ourselves.

                  Everyday Is Saturday is a 10-song collection of original blues that captures that feeling of release, connection, and liberation.It's the soundtrack to the kind of house party where old friends gather, strangers become family, and everyone is welcome exactly as they are.In one corner, there's a passionate debate.In another,a budding romance.Somewhere in the middle, somebody's dancing, somebody's singing along, and somebody's telling a story they swore they'd never tell.Through it all, the music keeps the energy alive and the possibilities endless.

                Rooted in the spirit of old school "rent check" parties but delivered with modern sensibilities, these songs celebrate the full range of human experience.They invite you to laugh, dance, sing at the top of your lungs, or cry your eyes out, without judgement and without apology. Because that's what great blues music has always done.It gives us a place to lay our burdens down and remember that we're not carrying them alone.

                 Everyday Is Saturday is more than an album title. It's a reminder that joy,freedom,and real connection don't have to wait for the weekend."

 

                  With a powerhouse voice that is a force to be reckoned with, whose primary influences are Nina Simone, Tina Turner, Etta James, and Koko Taylor, and with a style that can be called bluesy with a hip-hop heartbeat and rock-star flair, Kat Riggins and Her Blues Revival deliver songs that aim to uplift, enlighten, and inspire, alongside plenty of extraordinary musicianship. From high energy movin' and groovin' numbers to sweet, sultry ballads, each song becomes part of the blues-funk party scene, moving your booty, or delivering a heart-breaking soul stirrer that moves your soul.

                  "If I can move someone to feel what I feel when I sing a song, then it's all worth it," says the Miami-born singer-songwriter.

                Kat Riggins' powerful, versatile voice effortlessly shifts from high-energy, soul-shaking blues originals to tender, sultry, heartbreaking ballads, gritty blues, smooth soul, gospel-inspired ballads and hip-hop-infused tracks - all without missing a beat!!

               

                      * "Do My Thang" - A sassy, hip-shaker with a bit of a funkdafied groove, a groove-heavy, self-empowering anthem.This one is for the dancers!

                 * "Ain't Goin' Down" - Hard driving,with a steady build...this song is an anthem of self-encouragement!!

                  * "Live In Peace" - A soul nourishing,love inspiring slow burning power ballad.

                   * "Tears Like Gasoline" - A moody,bluesy ballad with a raw,expresive vocal that tears at your soul.

                   *The haunting "Holy Water" is another standout,beautifully atmospheric with a deeply spiritual undertone,heartfelt,passionate,explosive,and defiant,the vocals here are absolutely amazing!,with breathtaking beauty!!

                   * "Fear Slayer" is aggressive with a rockier edge

                   *" 'Til the Lights Come on"- hopeful,with a groove that grabs you and refuses to let go.

                    *"Hunger Games" - playful,pointed,with a modern twist.

                     * "I Say So" - A self-affirming anthem with a soulful delivery.
