CURTIS STIGERS WINS JAZZ ECHO AWARD
The German Phono Academy has named Curtis Stigers “International Male Jazz Singer of the Year” for his new album “Lost in Dreams.” He’ll be traveling to Germany with his band to perform on the Jazz ECHO awards TV broadcast on May 5, 2010. About the award, Curtis says, “It’s kind of like the German version of the Grammy Awards, except I think they give out a gold-plated schnitzel, AND they actually televise these jazz awards, rather than presenting them in the afternoon at a secret brunch, like they do at the Grammys… But seriously folks, it’s a real honor for me and I’m very excited and grateful!”

Big news!!! Curtis Stigers has been nominated for an Emmy Award by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences! Last year Curtis co-wrote and sang the theme song to the critically acclaimed new FX TV series The Sons Of Anarchy, and the song has been nominated for “Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music.” In the same category, the legendary film composer and arranger John Williams is also nominated. “This is such a thrill! I’m up against the guy who wrote the Star Wars Theme! Holy spaceballs, R2D2! I haven’t been nominated for anything since I was in the running for ‘Most Likely To Own A Small Potato Farm’ back in high school!” Stigers says. Curtis is picking out his bow tie and matching cumberbund for the big night right now…
