D. Scott Riggs is a Gulf Coast based songwriter/musician that plays Panhandle Blues, a rich gumbo of Pre-War Delta, Piedmont, and Country Blues, with doses of Jazz, Gospel, Hokum, Cajun, and Jug music thrown in for flavor. 

As frontman/songwriter for the road-tested band Spearman Brewers and as a solo troubadour, Riggs has toured the Great South for multiple years, bringing his original Panhandle music to the meek and thirsty.
