               Los Angeles-- Curtis Stigers, the singer of the theme song for the FX show Sons of Anarchy, is performing at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City on Jan. 13.
A ticket for the concert is $30. 
Stigers, 47, is a saxophonist, guitarist, songwriter and jazz vocalist. His career in music began in 1991 with the release of his first album “Curtis Stigers,” which included the US top 10 song “I Wonder Why.”  Since then Stigers has released 10 more albums.

Music critics have say that Stigers is unique because he blurs the line between jazz and pop.
“He is an early-90s pop star from Idaho who devoted himself to jazz when middle-age and the millennium arrived, ought to be the kind of comfort-zone artist that annoys the jazz hardcore – but he isn’t.” said The Guardian music critic John Fordham.
            Despite his pop sensibilities, Stigers music is played on KKJZ. Many KKJZ employees praised the multi-generational music that Stigers makes.
           “I grew up playing jazz, I went to jazz college, I love jazz, but I always liked pop, soul, and rock music,” said Stigers. “It never occurred to me to listen to one kind of music. It’s about songs, it’s about emotions.”
