Epic. Varied. Can’t be put in a box.
For the past 30 years singer, songwriter, saxophonist and guitarist Curtis Stigers has been making records that confound those who try to categorise his music.
As a long-haired, blue-eyed soul singer, Stigers has enjoyed major success. His debut album sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide on the strength of self-penned hit singles like ‘I Wonder Why,’ ‘You’re All That Matters to Me,’ and ‘Never Saw a Miracle.’
Stigers eclectic career highlights include an Emmy nomination for co-writing and singing the theme song to Sons Of Anarchy, releasing nine critically acclaimed award-winning jazz albums along with playing for presidents and princes. He’s even made cameo appearances in Ted and Ted 2, movies written and directed by his friend, Seth MacFarlane.
Whether it’s on stage or in the studio, Stigers is no stranger to lending his musical talents; collaborating with Carole King, Barry Mann, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Al Green, Shawn Colvin and Jackson Browne plus sharing stages with big names like Eric Clapton, Elton John, Prince, Rod Stewart, The Allman Brothers Band and Nancy Wilson.

More about Curtis Stigers
After being mentored in his early years by legendary jazz pianist Gene Harris, and by the revered jazz singer Mark Murphy, Stigers’ unique talent was recognized by music business impresario Clive Davis, who signed Stigers to a record deal after hearing him in a New York restaurant. A year later, Stigers contributed a cover version of Nick Lowe’s ‘(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace Love and Understanding’ to The Bodyguard soundtrack, which has sold over 45 million copies worldwide. Multiple appearances on The Tonight Show, The Late Show with David Letterman, The Today Show and countless International TV shows, put Stigers directly in the spotlight of popular culture.
