Over the past five years, Little Miss Higgins—described as a “pocket-sized powerhouse” by Richard Knechtel in the Owen Sound Sun Times--has built a strong national reputation throughout Canada, appearing in clubs and on festival stages in Edmonton, Winnipeg, Montreal, Owen Sound, and Canso, Nova Scotia performing traditional songs but also her own original music that picks up on blues styles of the past, but remains very much her own expression.
As a songwriter, she has been influenced by a range of artists from Memphis Minnie, Billy Holiday, Big Bill Broonzy to Joni Mitchell.
Her studio albums “Cobbler Shop Sessions” (2006) and “Junction City” (2007) superbly showcase Little Miss Higgins as a highly-developed songwriter as well as a remarkable country blues performer in a style gracefully highlighted by her partner, guitarist Foy Taylor.
The release of “Junction City” resulted in a handful of honours for Little Miss Higgins. She kicked off 2008 at the 11th annual Maple Blues Awards in Toronto. Nominated in the New Artist of the Year category, she performed at the awards gala in Toronto.
A few months later, Little Miss Higgins won the Favourite Blues Artist/Group or Duo of the Year category of the 8th Annual Indies Awards held in Toronto during Canadian Music Week.
As well, “Junction City” won as Outstanding Blues Recording at Western Canadian Music Awards, and was nominated in the Blues Album of the Year category at the 2008 Juno Awards..
To her fan’s delight, there was the 2009 release “Little Miss Higgins Live: Two Nights In March.” The album was recorded at Amigo’s Cantina in Saskatoon, and Engineered Air Theatre in Calgary.
