The Shadbolt Centre for the Arts is gearing up for another celebration of the bounty through song and story with Little Miss Higgins. The country-blues artist is bringing her second annual Harvest Tour to Burnaby on October 1 at 7:30 pm.

Performing tunes both new and old, Higgins cultivates a heartwarming stage show with her Manitoba Ruckus Band—featuring Eric Lemoine on banjo, lap steel, and guitar, and Patrick Alexander on upright bass. Higgins is also crafting a market atmosphere at the merch table with homegrown garlic, handmade soap, and much more.

This show at the Shadbolt is the first stop on the Harvest Tour, which will see Higgins travel to small towns across Western Canada this fall. B.C. performances include Kaleden on October 4, Lake Country on October 7, Castlegar on October 8, and Rossland on October 9.

Tickets to see Little Miss Higgins are available through the Shadbolt Centre.
