CD Review: From the Big Apple comes Jake Stiggers, a singer/songwriter and a two-time ASCAP Plus Award Winner, who skillfully incorportates Pop elements into his edgy brand of Rock to create a commercially appealing sound.

The opening track of this 7 song project, "Ride With You," is instantly memorable and radio friendly with its singing guitars and simple tongue-in-cheek chorus that can be interpreted in a variety of ways. It is followed-up and perfectly complemented by "End Of The World ," a more in-the-pocket track which also sticks. The surprise on this CD is "She's A Woman," a tender, melodic tune with Country crossover appeal.

If Jake opened his own hotel, his fans would make sure there would be No Vacancy because this is the kind of music that people not only want to hear, but experience as well.

Advice: Hit the road jack! it's obvious you are a performer.
