popVLTR: What are some of your proudest moments in music so far? JR: The "Addicted To You" album has been a huge milestone - it was such an honor to work with the famous music producer Warren Huart at Swing House Studios in Hollywood, he's an amazing guy. He's worked with bands like The Fray, Augustana and The Gallery. He's got this knack of bringing out your best. Phil Allen of Harmony Studios was our Engineer and Mixer and he's also a famous guy. He won a Grammy Award for Adele's Album of the year in 2011, so Phil was a huge inspiration for me...." - Pop Vulture Magazine

Local artists are reaching the world through various forms of online exhibition, business, and interaction

Jimmy Riggs was laying down a driving rhythm on his acoustic guitar and singing a heartfelt tune at a local music venue when his manager, Dale Clotiaux, slid a small paper card into my hand. Clotiaux made sure every member of the audience received one, which wasn’t a typical business card, but featured a coupon code for a free download of a song from Riggs’ new album.

The album, Addicted to You, is the Jimmy Riggs Band’s debut and features Riggs’ original songs. It was released on Jan. 15 and is available on several websites. With his album available in cyberspace, Riggs isn’t dependent on performing shows to sell hard copies of his album, but performing live may prompt immediate purchases if the artist makes a good enough impression.

“I was out at the bar playing music,” Riggs said, “and I tell people about my album, and they get on their phone right there and download it.”

Clotiaux added: “And when you hand someone a download card for one song, they might end up downloading the whole album.”

Whether for purchase or for free, immediate downloads have certainly shifted things in the music industry. But artists in all media are making themselves seen, heard, read, and noticed online thanks to several specialized sites, most of which link up with the most popular social networks. Today’s artists certainly have a wide selection of resources with which to maximize their audience and their potential.

Album: Addicted To You

Release Date: 1/15/13



"Addicted To You" is a fresh take on Americana Rock from singer-songwriter Jimmy Riggs. From the leadoff track's raw guitar energy on "Small Midwestern Town," to the R&B groove of "Love is Blind," the swinging Southern rock overtones of "Addicted To You" (title track), and the haunting and powerful "Good Ol' Days," it's an impressive debut from this multitalented artist.

The 11 original tracks spin tales of good times, back roads, bars and romance that will resonate with fans of Bob Seger, John Mellencamp and Jason Aldine reinvented by Riggs in his own distinctive style.

The album was recorded at Swing House Studios in Hollywood by cutting edge producer Warren Huart, famed for his magic touch with artists such as The Fray, Augustana, Aerosmith, and many more. Engineering and mixing was done by Grammy Award winning Phil Allen (Adele Album of the Year 2011). Pre-production work began in 2011, when Jimmy was introduced to the legendary Bruce Turgon, formerly bass player for Foreigner.
