About Me
The Kiger Band has quickly established itself as the HOTTEST HIGH ENERGY COUNTRY ROCK BAND in the Pittsburgh and surrounding area! Our song list includes current top country rock hits as well as original songs performed only by The Kiger Band. The original songs include a number of songs written by Nashville song writers submitted to The Kiger Band specifically to add our touch of "high energy attitude" we exude. That is evident by the very first song we recorded, “Redneck of the Woods” written by Dr. Jim Smith, and has been aired on radio stations across the country, such as Froggy Radio, Y108 and Independent Music Network. The Kiger Band does not just provide dance music but offers full entertainment by capturing the total attention of the audience! The Kiger Band interacts with the audience in such a way that the audience feels they are part of the show. Listed below are some of our accomplishments: * When we first joined DigitalRodeo.com, our song “Redneck of the Woods” was on their Top 10 List for four months. They were so impressed that they chose our song to be part of Volume One of Digital Rodeo’s very first CD release, which was handed out at the CMA Festival by Aaron Tippin in June 2007. There were 30,000 CD’s distributed to the fans. * On August 21, 2007, we were one of only three bands chosen to perform on the First Commonwealth Main Stage at the Westmoreland County Fair – Blake Shelton, PovertyNeck Hillbillies & The Kiger Band. * We started a charity event called “Rockin Country Cares”, a benefit for the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS). The event was held at Saddle Ridge in Pittsburgh on September 2, 2007. Aaron Tippin participated in the event along with other local country bands. * In early 2008, we entered a contest on www.DigitalRodeo.com/HotCountryMusic. Our song won the Country Outlaw category, which was voted on by fans on Digital Rodeo. We are invited to Nashville this December to compete for “Song of the Year”. * In June 2008, we submitted our original song “Redneck of the Woods” to the CBS Radio affiliate Y108 and were chosen out of thousands of registrants as one of the Top 10 to participate in the Kenny Chesney Next Big Star Contest. Y108 listeners then voted for their favorite bands and we were chosen as the final four to battle it out at the Hard Rock Café on June 13, 2008. We performed the next day on the Y108 stage (outside of Heinz Field) at the Kenny Chesney Concert. *************************************************************************************************************************** The Kiger Band is Available for Corporate & Private Parties.
