Singer, Songwriter, Saxophonist, Bandleader…Curtis Stigers does it all. His new album, This Life will be released on February 25, 2022. “Keep Me From The Cold” was originally released on Curtis’ sophomore album on Arista Records, where he was discovered and signed by legendary producer Clive Davis. It was co-written with Glen Ballard (Grammy-winning writer/producer) and Curtis has said that this is one of the songs that he’s most proud of writing.       It’s been 30 years since Curtis released his eponymous debut album which took the charts by storm and generated the international hits “I Wonder Why”, “You’re All that Matters To Me”, and “Never Saw A Miracle”. For This Life a seasoned Curtis Stigers has revisited these early successes (and a couple of later ones) and put a distinct jazz spin on them. The repertoire includes a new version of Nick Lowe’s “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love, And Understanding”, which Stigers had recorded in 1992 for the smash hit film soundtrack of The Bodyguard. And there is, of course, also a fresh rendition of “This Life”, the marvelous Emmy-nominated theme song Curtis co-wrote and recorded in 2008 for the wildly popular TV show Sons Of Anarchy.       Fans of Sons of Anarchy know him well and The Times of London enthuse "Stigers remains one of the most thoughtful and uncategorizable of artists. Armed with a characterful croon, a chiseled jaw and a saxophone..”       Over the course of his career Curtis’s music has been praised by many including The New York Times, The Times of London, The Guardian, The San Francisco Chronicle, Jazz Times, MOJO, and so many more. I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this next release!     Some Things That Came Up:       6:00 - Coming up on Southern CA radio   13:00 - Exposition on the sax   19:00 - Moving to NYC   20:00 - Toad's Place, New Haven   31:00 - Which Singer/Songwriters are the legends in the making?
