After enjoying pop success throughout the 1990s, Stigers changed musical direction in 2001, signing with Concord Jazz and releasing a series of well-received albums that blended jazz with soul, blues, country and folk influences.
He also co-wrote and performed the Emmy-nominated theme song This Life for Sons of Anarchy, while building a strong international touring career.
During the pandemic, Stigers launched a weekly livestream, Songs From My Kitchen, which featured intimate, stripped-back versions of songs from his catalogue, alongside new material and covers.
This creative period inspired his 14th studio album, Songs From My Kitchen, Volume 1.
Born in Hollywood, raised in Idaho, and shaped by years in New York, Stigers continues to perform worldwide and is celebrated for his distinctive voice, musical versatility and instinctive approach to song.
