Little Miss Higgins are  a Nokomis, Saskatchewan based blues/jazz duo including Little Miss Higgins (Jolene Higgins) and guitarist Foy Taylor who are touring in support of their new CD ‘Across The Plains’

Perspective from a new found fan: "We found ourselves walking down Red River toward 6th, trying to find someway, someplace, something that could somehow bring down our heart rates before we combusted from the machine gun pounding in our chests and brains. We ducked into a small, surprisingly well-lit bar that seemed relatively comfortable and spared of the shoulder-to-shoulder, elbow-to-elbow compound of the usual SXSW venue. Inside, we stumbled upon Little Miss Higgins, who was in the middle of her set. An Alberta native reared in Independence, Kansas, Little Miss Higgins was a welcome break from the high-volume massacre we’d just endured for the last two hours. The vision of a sweet, innocent, dark-haired lady, guitar in hand, on stage singing good ol’ fashioned blues tunes accompanied only by the acoustic of her partner, Foy Taylor, was a sepia tone shot of a time long gone by. Little Miss Higgins (or Jolene Higgins) kicked and sashayed around the stage in a blue dress and black heels — her red lipstick bright under the lights as she crooned songs of snow-covered country roads, broken hearts, and the comfortable feel of discounted panties at the bargain store. She looked like she could have been a second cousin of the Carter Family or Loretta Lynn’s long lost little sister. Even still, in a culture and industry that signs checks on the amount of skin that a woman is willing to show in photo spreads, magazine covers, on television and/or on stage, the stubborn modesty, ruthless grit, and unabashed performance of Little Miss Higgins at El Sol y La Luna pointed to one of the sexiest attributes of any and all performers regardless of gender or talent."
