Band Members: Jason Riggs
Influences: "Picture a 57 Chevy with Springsteen driving, Steve Earle riding shotgun, and Lucinda Williams crashed in the back, passing Tom Petty thumbing for a ride. All on their way to Johnny Cash show."
Sounds Like: "New Mexico expat Jason Riggs is a real-deal folk singer with grimy fingers in Americana and rock, spinning haunting yarns like “Stronger than Death†as only a former semiconductor plant worker could."- Bill Frost, Music Picks, Salt Lake Weekly
"These Wheels...unflinchingly rocks with heart, soul, and guts galore." - Guitar Nine Records
"His performance is heartfelt and passionate, and he's got the knack for the anthemic hook." - Albuquerque Journal
"...ridden with ballads and heartbroken anthems, written back in the days when long drives south eased the pain." - Laramie Daily Boomerang
"Simplicity permeates this song (Everyday Like This) all though it beguiles. Every sound has its place from the motor style guitar and hand thump to the crisp shaker and pedal steel guitar soaring above the vocals that have a satisfied attitude about them. Remember the early recordings of Elvis and Harry Belifonte on RCA...The line, "Everybody's dancing like the songs about to end" is fabulous imagery in the bridge... Having the pedal steel guitar echo the "la da da da da" at the end reinforces the "this is going to last forever" feeling...-Peter Burg, Pueblosongwriters.com, Review of the song "Everyday Like This"
