Formed in the early spring of 2005 in Spartanburg, South Carolina Marc Higgins Band is already becoming an upstate "must hear and see" with other regions soon to follow. Having Toured in support of their 2006 debut CD "Change is Good"; Marc Higgins Band has already made fans out of first time listeners. Their no gimmick attitude and entrancing live performances draw audiences closer with each song.
Following “Change is Good” comes Marc Higgins Band 2007 cd release “Slow Moving Train”. As a seasoned songwriter, Marc Higgins shows depth and much diversity using tasteful guitar licks, raw harmonica melody and alluring lyrics .”Slow Moving Train” is a well documented record of marc Higgins ever evolving and well crafted song writing. Relating personal experiences into his songs and sticking to the idea of "only write what you know", "Slow Moving Train" is a testament to the wide spectrum of Marc’s regional influence only found in the upstate of South Carolina’s Bourgeoning music scene. With songs like Sweet Carolina, Waiting for you There, Dream and She never Pretends, Marc Higgins engineers “Slow Moving Train” down the urban Americana tracks.
Followed by Marc Higgins is drummer Michelle Lee. Michelle has played with Marc Higgins for over ten years in such bands as The Turnaround and the Edmonds. Michelle is a faithfully tight and steady drummer always playing to a mass appeal; this girl likes to be heard!
Mark Cantrell electrifies on bass! Also hailing from Spartanburg, Mark has played in bands such as The Shades, The Calhouns and Deucey. This is a great rhythm section!
This puzzle can only be completed with the haunting harmonies of Courtney Johnson. Courtney's sultry backing vocals compliment and complete MHB's southeast sound thus bringing depth and unison to this Spartanburg based band.

Marc, Thanks again for coming up and playing the songwriter circle. Your songs kick ass and it is a pleasure to share the stage with you. Keep it up. -Dave D
Great spot on WGWG yesterday! I listened to the whole thing and y'all did a terrific job with the songs and representing Sparkle City. Congrats. Also, you might consider adding "cookies" to your influences. LOL
Hand to Hand - the coast to coast collaborative collage of Rebecca Trawick and David Wallace
Over the course of two years, Rebecca and I traded collages back and forth through the mail, adding to each work as it changed hands. Throughout this process, we never met in person - I live in Pittsburgh, and Rebecca lives in Southern CA. We found that working together was a way to communicate on a purely creative level. We weren’t interested in becoming “pen pals,” but rather in seeing how our two styles could combine to create work that was not completely me, not totally her, but something new and surprising to us both. The work debuted at Moxie Dada in Pittsburgh in January 2007 and has since been shown at Phd Gallery in St. Louis and Tangent Lab in Wichita, working its way across the U.S. in much the same way the pieces themselves traveled between the two of us.
You can view all of the work in this series at my website: http://salaczar.com/collaborative.html
"This beautiful collection of collages holds no specific thematic intentions; there are no hidden messages to interpret. Each piece offers its own vocabulary, images for which viewers can create their own meanings. Or one can simply appreciate the image for its aesthetic value as a beautiful work of art." - Janera Soloman, Pittsburgh City Paper
