Singer-Songwriter Tommy Wiggins' sixth album ALL NIGHT DRIVING is "Rhythm Music for Grownups". A potent melting pot of pop, jazz blues n' reggae, it follows the same Adult Alternative leanings as its predecessor, "Cool Saturdays", which was in rotation in over 60 radio markets.
Vocal standouts include "Somebody", "Baby Put a Hole in My Heart", "All Along I Thought It Was You" and "Don't Close the Book on Love". Instrumentally there's "Morning Cafe" and of course the title track, "All Night Driving'.
ALL NIGHT DRIVING features great songs, deep grooves and excellent performances by a stellar band. Tommy Wiggins has once again delivered the goods.
"Awesome work, dude!" -- Phil Solem, the Rembrandts
"Tommy Wiggins is a solid writer who creates ear-grabbing, invigorating themes." -- Nancy Ann Lee, Freelance Music Journalist
"Wiggins...goes down well with a glass of chardonnay or a shot of expresso." -- Cleveland Scene
