J.P. Riggall crafts songs shaped by years of wrestling with the mind’s quieter storms, giving rise to a sound often called *anxiety blues*. His music blends heartfelt confession with a dreamlike sense of place, drawing listeners into the imagined worlds of **Dukes County** and **Laurel County**—two shadowy, half-mythic landscapes filled with drifters, dreamers, and people trying to find their way back to themselves.

Riggall’s songwriting is tender and atmospheric, a mix of vulnerability, storytelling, and quiet emotional weight. Performing throughout the North East, he has built a reputation for intimate, captivating shows that feel less like performances and more like conversations in low light. Along the way, he has shared stages with **Paul Smith (Maxïmo Park)**, **Chris Helme**, and **King Creosote**, earning respect across the region.

His songs linger long after they fade: reflective, poetic, and unmistakably his.
