Artist:Landon Pigg
Song:Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop
Album:The Boy Who Never
The 2007 single Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop became very popular with females after TV usage. It is to date the only chart single for singer songwriter Landon Pigg. I think it's one of those songs that is liked but listeners have no idea who sings it. Pigg was born Aug. 6, 1983 in Nashville. He grew up in the music business. His father Gary Pigg is a veteran Nashville session singer. He works mostly on commercials and has worked with BJ Thomas and Amy Grant. Pigg's family moved to the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, IL where his dad owned a commercial production company. Pigg attended high school in Nashville. He raised money through YouTube to record the 2002 album Demonstration. And this eventually got him a record deal with RCA. The Boy Who Never was his second album in 2007. RCA promoted Pigg by having him perform on the late night talk shows and place songs in shows like Grey's Anatomy. This is very common promotion strategy these days. Falling in Love in a Coffee Shop appeared in a couple of TV commercials. Enough listeners downloaded the song that it reached #13 on the Adult Contemporary chart. So this strategy worked...to a point. Landon wrote Falling in Love in a Coffee Shop. He sometimes writes with co-writers. Most of The Boy Who Never was produced by recording engineer Jacquire King. Falling in Love in a Coffee Shop was produced by CCM producers Ian Fitchuk and Justin Loucks. It was recorded in Nashville and sent to LA for a remix by Eric Ivan Rosse and Chris Reynolds. This album is available as a budget CD. Though he has released a couple of singles and still performs live, Pigg hasn't released an album since The Boy Who Never. He has worked in the studio with CCM artists so maybe that's in his future. Here's the video for Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop by Landon Pigg.
