This is Jason's first outdoor show in a while, but don't worry...should a New Mexico monsoon hit, he'll be movin' it inside faster than you can say Dewey Decimal System.

Saxbys Coffee is becoming quite the music salon as of late. They have hosted regular performances by the likes of Roger Jameson, Alicia Ultan, Maryse LaPier, and, of course, your local folk rockin' daddy, Jason Riggs.

On Friday, July 22nd, all three will be joining forces for one night only.  Sort of like the Justice Leage of America.   Or the Avengers. Or the Super Friends.

On this night, you'll get Roger's romantic highway ballads of sagebrush Lotharios. You'll be enthralled by Alicia Ultan's charming cosmic folk melodies. And, in the middle of it all, ol' Jason takes the stage for three chords of fury signifying love, loss, death, and pawn shop specials.

Now, the batting order has yet to be determined. All three artists will enter a cage match with the winner getting the headlining slot. (Vegas oddsmakers favor Alicia to win.)

No matter what, this will be quite an evening

Well, put Jason Riggs on a corner stage with Alicia Ultan playing violar, and see what happens.

Jase is returning to Saxbys Coffee on Friday, June 17th at 7:30pm.  Charming singer/songwriter Alicia Ultan will be opening the show.  Her gorgeous melodies and enthralling stage presence are sure to enchant.

So much so, that you can expect Jason to call Alicia back on stage with her viola to join in on his songs.  It is a given!

When:  Friday, June 17th @7:30pm

Friday April 15th, 2011- 7:30pm

Jason is back at Saxby's Coffee for songs of love, loss, life, and burning that letter instead of mailing it. 

Joing Jason will be the lovely and talented Alicia Ultan.  Alicia will be opening the show with some of her own powerhouse songs.  Then, it is widely rumored, she will join Jase onstage with her legendary viola. 

Hipsters and afficianados will recall that Alicia played viola on Jason's second album, Pawn Shop Special.  Check out Riggs' song "Almost Home" to hear what this lady can do!  And come down to Saxby's on April 15th once your taxes are done.

"Lead on!" said Scrooge. "Lead on! The night is waning fast, and it is precious time to me, I know. Lead on, Spirit!  And make haste for Page One Bookstore in Albuquerque for to hear that charimatic minstrel Jason Riggs."

That's right, Kids.  Jason is back at Page One Bookstore on Friday, Dec. 17th at 7pm.  

Tis the season for an Acoustic Christmas Throwdown!  Riggs has been a real good boy all year and he'll be playing your favorites off his two albums and maybe, just maybe some Christmas songs.  So get your holiday book shopping done early, grab a cup of coffee, and settle in for some pathos ridden tunes by a man who is still upset about being left out of all those reindeer games.

Jason Riggs will be performing at Albuquerque's oldest independent bookstore Page One on Friday, Oct. 22nd at 7:00pm.

Page One is a longtime favorite for Albuquerque booklovers including Jason.

"I'm really excited to finally play a gig at Page One.  I used to hang out there all the time browsing for hours and reading all the music magazines, but never actually making a purchase.  So, I kind of owe them."

Help Jason pay off a spiritual debt to Page One by attending the performance.  And, bring your reading list!  Chances are, Page One has a book for you!
