Fort Worth: Sam Riggs at Billy Bob’s Texas
November 25 @ 9:00 pm
Sam Riggs brings his dusty, muscular brand of Texas Red Dirt to Billy Bob’s Texas in Fort Worth on Wednesday, November 25, 2026, the night before Thanksgiving, for a homecoming-style show with his band the Night People.
Showtime is 9:00 PM inside the World’s Largest Honky Tonk, where Riggs and his band are known for turning up the volume on their soulful, horn-inflected take on Texas country. It’s a set built for a big room and a loud crowd.
Riggs moved to Austin, Texas in 2007 at 19 years old, and nearly two decades later the city is still very much home base. He worked manual labor jobs while playing local cafes and bars, slowly building a following that turned into a full-time music career, and Austin’s mix of blues, soul and country runs straight through his sound.

With the Night People behind him, Riggs built a reputation as one of the harder-touring acts in the Texas scene, playing hundreds of shows a year across dancehalls and festivals statewide. His songs tend to lean into working-class themes and hard-won optimism, which has made him a steady draw at rooms like Billy Bob’s over the years.
Given the Wednesday-before-Thanksgiving timing, expect a packed house full of Texans already in holiday mode. Get to the Stockyards early for the 9:00 PM start.
