Dax Riggs

Dax Riggs will always be known in some circles for his work in the influential ’90s sludge band Acid Bath, but he’s gone on to an extremely impressive career since — his discography includes work with both Agents of Oblivion & Deadboy & the Elephantmen, along with a string of more recent solo efforts. Riggs’s otherworldly voice has only improved with age, and his acoustic solo shows are arguably the best showcase available for his talents — he typically plays a mix of originals and transcendent covers of work by canonical singer/songwriters like Leonard Cohen, Townes Van Zandt, and John Prine.

Riggs, who swung through NYC last summer, will be on tour in April with an NYC stop on April 12 at Mercury Lounge. This is an early show — doors at 7:30 PM with a TBA opener at 8 PM and Dax’s set at 9 PM. Tickets will go on sale this Friday (2/21) at noon with an AmEx presale beginning Wednesday (2/19) at noon.

Dax also has a few shows this month in the South and all dates are listed, along with a song stream, below…
