Little Miss Higgins

From the Great Northern Plains, Little Miss Higgins struts and serenades her way onto any stage playing music brewed up in early country blues, jazz and folk.  For over two decades she has performed, toured, collaborated, recorded and released 6 independent albums.  Her music has won three Western Canadian Music Awards and received Juno and Maple Blues Awards nominations. 

 As a songwriter and musician, Higgins has been influenced by a range of artists from Memphis Minnie and Billie Holiday to Joni Mitchell and Dolly Parton as well as the vast array of Canadian musicians and bands she has had the fortune to see live or even share a stage with like Big Dave McLean, Corb Lund and the Deep Dark Woods to name a few.

Join us for one more celebration of the bounty through song and story with Little Miss. With tunes of new and old, The Harvest Tour is a crisp reminder of what’s to come. Higgins cultivates not only a heartwarming stage show with a Manitoba Ruckus of a band, but also a traveling market feel on the merch table with LMH home grown garlic, handmade soap, and much more.

The premiere run of the Harvest Tour in 2024 had packed houses and an overwhelming response to the garlic–sold out before the tour was over. With double the crop waiting in the winter wings, Higgins cannot wait, not only to strut around onstage, but share the bounty of the harvest.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING:

"Jolene Higgins aka Little Miss Higgins, has a sexy jazz cabaret voice which is almost more at home in the 1920s than it is today, yet is still timeless." - L.A. Beat.

"It’s up to Miss Higgins to bring the sass and the sweet. The lady does not disappoint; revelling in the seamless backing which allows her to lay out the full range of her impressive vocal talents." - Cashbox.

"Put on your finest duds and get ready for a night out on the town with this collection of country swing, elegantly understated blues and jazz, and a touch of honky-tonk thrown in for good measure. Sure, you might call this ... old-timey, but it shouldn’t be perceived as a criticism, since it’s neither dated nor derivative. Everything ... is as pleasantly charming as Higgins herself, and feels just as comfortable as your favourite pair of cowboy boots." - New Music Canada.
