Bewitching like moonlight on water- Little Miss Higgins captivates audiences with her original, gutsy, spirited country blues songs. Crystal clear vocals that go on forever and amazing guitar licks - she's the real thing! Though she's raring to go anywhere from solo to a full band of minstrels, Little Miss is mostly accompanied by partner/guitar player Foy Taylor. Together they are creating innovative guitar work rooted in a country blues style and an unforgettably "top hat" stage show.
She has shared the stage with, to name a few, Big Dave McLean, Corb Lund, Suzie Vinnick and Tim Williams. Spring of 2006, she and Foy created music for and performed in the Globe Theatre's production of Joey Tremblay's Oh, George. She was nominated for a 2006 WCMA for her album Cobbler Shop Sessions and won the IMA Vox Populi Award for her song "Ferry Boat Blues".
Produced by Tim Williams, her second CD, Junction City, is an extension of the authentic songwriting and performance styles of Little Miss Higgins, as well as, Foy Taylor and the "junction" of talent that helped create the album.
