From the Great Northern Plains of Western Canada, Little Miss Higgins struts and serenades her way, guitar in hand, onto any stage with music influenced by old-time country blues, jazz and folk. This award-winning artist has built a strong national reputation throughout Canada, appearing in clubs, theatres and on festival stages from B.C. to Newfoundland and as far north as Iqaluit, Nunavut. For her newest release, Bison Ranch Recording Sessions, Little Miss Higgins teamed up with a very talented quintet of musicians from Manitoba. Though Little Miss Higgins identifies these fine fellows as the Winnipeg Five, they are also known as the F-Holes. They have been sharing their unique blend of Country, Dixieland, Manitoba roots music with audiences across Canada since 2004. After joining forces onstage, the six of them decided to record in a barn on a bison ranch in rural Manitoba. The album was engineered by Steve Loree and co-produced by Higgins and bass player, Patrick Alexandre Leclerc. Everything was captured live off the floor—fire crackles and crow cawing included. The experience brought out the authenticity of the music, the talent of the musicians and the connection of the group. What you hear is how it happened.
