Sam Riggs

What were some of your favorite Texas Music “Scene-lebrities” up to this week? Doing Keg stands, looking for ice cream, watching golf, going to the movies and sharing it all with us!

Last week was my first LJT experience... and it was just that. A very fast-pace, insane yet amazing experience - not only to witness but to be a part of, I was on the media crew running video production, and got to see every corner of the Texas Music Fest...

Midnight Rodeo is bringing you Zane Williams, Sam Riggs, and Mike Ryan all tonight, all full band one after the other, and then all three together in a song swap to close out the show. Wow, what a great night!

The weather has been extremely crazy lately, and it looks like it's just going to keep getting colder. However, we've got a solution for that. Zane Williams will be in San Angelo at Midnight Rode, March 6th, with Mike Ryan and Sam Riggs as part of their 'Rock and Soul Roadshow' tour...

The above video is a great way to see why we love Sam Riggs over here. Put him with his band, Sam Riggs and the Night People, and they are definitely a band you want to pay attention too.

In the beginning, we had Pat Green, Cory Morrow and Roger Creager step up, followed by Randy Rogers, Wade Bowen etc etc etc.

Get ready for two dynamic singer/songwriters sharing the stage tonight in a song swap at Midnight Rodeo. Sam Riggs and Mike Ryan have included San Angelo among a limited number of venues for their "Snow Drifts & Ski Lifts" tour. In 2007 Sam Riggs’ moved  from his home base in Florida to Austin, Texas after some friends brought him a Reckless Kelly CD. Th...

"Dark as a Dungeon" is an extremely heartfelt song written by singer/songwriter Merle Travis in the early 1940s. It is a lament about the danger, labor and grind of being a coal miner. It was made famous by Johnny Cash when he recorded it in 1968.

I saw an artist perform the other day, who may or may not be on this list *cough cough* that did a phenomenal rendition of a song outside of their genre. It got me thinking about the artists in our Texas Music scene - the songs they choose to cover at their shows and why they choose those particular songs.
