With a career spanning four continents, a #1 Christian radio hit, multiple Top 20 songs, and recognition from the Dove Awards and the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, Riggan enters this new partnership with momentum and creative clarity.
A true singer-songwriter at heart, Riggan crafts lyrically rich, story-driven songs that will resonate with fans of Jason Gray, Andrew Peterson, and Josh Wilson. His music blends thoughtful theology with accessible melodies, pairing honest questions with hopeful conviction in a way that feels both intimate and congregational.
Marking the beginning of this next chapter is the already released Song of the Shepherd EP, a five-song project that features the cinematic title track alongside two additional songs from his forthcoming full-length album, Shepherds and Wolves, set to release in Fall 2026. The EP offers listeners an early glimpse into the thematic core of the upcoming album–songs rooted in spiritual resilience, honest reflection, and the tension between comfort and calling.
The title track, "Song of the Shepherd," stands as Riggan's latest recording and creative centerpiece. Inspired by Psalm 23 and anchored by the lyric "You restore my soul," the worship-leaning anthem blends swelling strings with percussive guitars, building a steady sense of tension and release that mirrors the journey from weariness to renewal. The track showcases Riggan's signature ability to merge pastoral heart with cinematic scope, creating music that resonates deeply with road-weary and soul-hungry listeners alike.
The momentum continues with his next single, "This Is Who I Am," arriving March 27. The new release further expands the narrative arc of Shepherds and Wolves, offering a bold and personal declaration of identity and faith in a culture often marked by confusion and compromise.
Currently serving as a worship pastor in Idaho, Riggan has spent years crafting songs that wrestle honestly with doubt, grief, and hope–while consistently pointing listeners toward the steady presence of Christ. His growing online community, affectionately known as the Rigganators, has become an integral part of that journey.
With NRT Music's support and the early unveiling of Song of the Shepherd, Scott Riggan steps into this next season with renewed focus and expanding reach. As additional singles roll out throughout 2026, leading to the release of Shepherds and Wolves, listeners can expect music that acknowledges the shadows–but ultimately follows the voice of the Shepherd.
