"Canadian prairie blues"
Little Miss Higgins is Jolene Higgins, born in Alberta, raised in Independence, Kansas, and now a resident of Nokomis, Saskatchewan. The folks up at Summerfolk in Ontario call her "a pocket-sized powerhouse who mixes originals with 1930s Memphis blues standards." And, says Stacy Jeffress of Blues Revue: "Not Since Laura Ingalls Wilder has there been a woman so eager to share stories of life on the prairie. But for Jolene 'Little Miss' Higgins, the prairie is in central Canada and the stories are told through compelling country blues songs." With influences in her songwriting ranging from Memphis Minnie and Big Bill Broonzy to Joni Mitchell, Little Miss Higgins is an artist who makes the blues into something fresh, gutsy, and personal.
