Ave Maria

Overview

I make music because I want to live in a world where everybody has enough; that no one should go without, that people have what they need, and music is something people need. So, I thank you for visiting, and I hope you find something worthwhile in my music. My repertoire consist mainly of pieces by Fernando Sor and Francisco Tarrega, as well as selections by J.S. Bach, O' Carolan, and Schubert, with some County Blues and Southern Fiddle tunes, and a little Irish music to keep it lively.

Mr. Higgins is currently studying guitar with Justin Heath of the School of Musical Traditions. He is working towards launching an album of his selected recordings. Twenty-four tracks are available for purchase at Bandcamp for your listening pleasure.

Additional booking notes

Ordinary room lighting, sufficient brightness that one can read by, is usually sufficient.
I will bring a folding chair. I have a portable amplifier with a lapel mic.
I can work with your sound system if you have one.
If necessary I can provide two microphones, stands, and wind socks, and 25' cables.
I will bring my own music stand, as needed.
