It is impossible to categorize him and him in a box. Born and raised in Boise, Idaho, Stigers spent his school years playing drums in rock bands and studying clarinet and saxophone at school โ€“ two instruments that awakened his jazz sensibilities at an early age. During his teenage years, he sat in regularly with legendary jazz pianist Gene Harris, who held weekly jam sessions at a local club in Boise. In 1987, 21-year-old Curtis Stigers relocated from Boise to New York City in search of new challenges and a shot at the big-time, whatever that meant. โ€œI just knew I needed to get out of town to continue to learn and grow as a musician,โ€ he says.

After a few years on the scene, Stigers was spotted by several A&R execs while playing a Sunday night jazz gig at an Upper West Side restaurant, where he and his trio experimented with playing jazz versions of songs by modern songwriters like Elvis Costello, Tom Waits and Donald Fagen, in addition to jazz standards and Curtisโ€™ own pop-soul originals. He eventually signed a deal with Clive Davis and Arista Records and set out to write the rest of the songs for his first album with several collaborators, including Glen Ballard and Barry Mann.

After the success of his first album, however, Stigers was eager to continue to evolve and tried hard to write and record a more rootsy, edgy, organic-sounding follow-up, but he ran into strong resistance from Arista president, Davis, who preferred to see Stigers following Aristaโ€™s patented middle-of-the-road pop model, with slick production and songs written by hired-guns. A creative stalemate resulted, and when his second album was finally released four years after his debut, Stigers found the pop radio world had moved on without him. Soon after, he managed to convince Davis to release him from his Arista contract and he moved to Columbia Records where he released his third album, the singer/songwriter-flavored Brighter Days, which allowed Stigers to finally make the rootsy album (with Jim Keltner, Benmont Tench, Chuck Leavell, Jackson Browne, Ed Cherney and more) heโ€™d been fighting to make for years. Unfortunately, there were less-than-stellar sales of this album.

Should he continue to try to chase radio hits in a world that didnโ€™t seem to appreciate his appetite for artistic growth or should he try another road entirely? After a heart-to-heart talk with his friend and musical hero, legendary jazz saxophonist Michael Brecker, Curtis decided to take the leap and begin a new chapter: He signed a record deal with Concord Jazz.

Over 18 years, Stigers recorded nine genre-busting critically acclaimed jazz albums, covering songs by Randy Newman, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, Steve Earle, Nick Lowe, Ron Sexsmith, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, John Lennon, Ray Davies, John Sebastian, Willie Dixon, Annie Lennox, Dan Zanes, Hayes Carll, Stephin Merritt and Mose Allison, as well as standards by the likes of the Gershwins, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern and Rodgers and Hart, plus his own new original songs. During this period Stigers cultivated a successful and enduring touring career, playing concerts around the world, performing these songs and new, โ€œreconstructedโ€ versions of songs from his early pop albums. In addition, Stigerโ€™s has played for presidents and princes, toured with symphonies and orchestras, sang Sinatra songs with a big band from Denmark, written songs with Carole King, and even appeared in two Seth MacFarlane movies about a foul mouthed cuddly bear called Ted.

He also sang the song โ€œJohn the Revelatorโ€ for the show. It is his rich singing voice, however - singular, balletic, and at turns both mournful and playful - which has brought him international acclaim.
