George Higgins

Name: George Higgins

How did you start out? I’ve been writing music for years, but didn’t start playing gigs until the end of last year, and as soon as I started it was like a drug and I just wanted more and more.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Folk, protest,
authentic, storytelling.

If you could support any band in the world – past or present – who would it be? Bob Dylan, I mean who wouldn’t? His music is timeless and will always be relevant and inspiring.

You’re being sent into space, no iPod, you can only bring one album – what would it be? The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan. That album is a masterpiece.

Greatest rock’n’roll moment of your career to date? Hearing one of my songs on the radio in Brisbane out of the blue was pretty cool and was kind of surreal in a way, especially since I only started out not that long ago.

Why should people come and see your band? If you like authentic and passionate folk music and Johnny Cash or Dylan, then you should come check me out.
