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!
Next up In the Marc Higgins Band is Bass player Keith Wilkins. No rookie himself, Keith has been playing bass in Upstate area bands for over twelve years. Playing with almost as many musicians as there are styles, Keith brings a sound to the MHB that is uniquely his own. With time well spent in bands like indie rock favorite The Giants and local roots and blues legend Dejablu, Keith's tasteful yet sometimes edgy style falls nowhere short of a perfect fit for this ensemble of four.
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.

Thanks for letting us hooligans hang out with you and your friends last night. It really was a great time. Thanks for the talk and for letting us play your guitar. I hope it got back to you safely! I checked out your homeboy Malcolm Holcombe (sp?), and yes yes, very nice stuff!
So seriously, ever since I got your cd, I've been listening to it every day. Great stuff! Now I'm really sorry I missed you guys live here in Chicago at The Hidden Shamrock. P.S. That chicago radio station I mentioned that you should check out is XRT 93.1 not 93.5
Hey... As always you had a great show last night, but I have to admit, that I enjoyed the sit down, low key (I guess maybe tired and just ready to rest) set... it was a nice sort of different. And OH yeah! Good luck with your future corn hole career, also :-)
Yes still in Chicago - everything is going great - been playing some around town -- Heartland Cafe, Uncommon Ground, Elbo Room -- working on finishing up some new recordings -- hope all is well down your way and definately miss all of you a ton and making music with ya!!
