Abbey You’ve already met Abbey Cone, but one of the many artists that Abbey has had the opportunity to share the stage with is an incredible Texas artist by the name of Sam Riggs. In 2014, Sam was voted Artist of The Year by Texas Music Pickers and Band of The Year by Study Breaks Magazine. A growing audience has found him online as well. To date, Riggs has racked up more than 2.2 million streams on Spotify and over 600,000 views on YouTube. A number of his singles hit the upper levels of the Texas charts, including the ultra-country “Hold On And Let Go,” the thumping concert re-creation “High On A Country Song” and his vulnerable “Second Hand Smoke.” To top it off, Riggs picked up the Texas Regional Radio Award in 2016 for Top New Male Vocalist. Riggs’ music is making waves nationally, too – the 2016 indie release Breathless debuted at No. 12 on the Billboard Country Albums chart.
