Post Description

Singer-songwriter Curtis Stigers' interest in music began as a teen in Boise, playing in punk and blues bands as well as receiving classical training in clarinet and saxophone in high school. After graduation, Stigers moved to New York to pursue rock music, but soon found himself more at home in the city's blues and jazz clubs. He attracted label attention as the saxophonist-vocalist of a jazz trio, signing a deal with Arista and releasing two albums for the label. His smooth, ballad-heavy blend of soul and rock translated into commercial appeal, particularly on his cover of Nick Lowe's 'Peace, Love, & Understanding' on The Bodyguard soundtrack.
