MIKE HIGBEE

About Me

My name is Mike Higbee. I am a singer-songwriter. I live in New York, but grew up in Paris, France. I am terrible at writing bio type stuff. Come see me at a show or listen to my songs and you'll get to know my bio that way. Also, if you click on the video link you can see the video we did for a very old song of mine called Soul Buddy, it's a four track recording, so not the best sound, but a fun video directed by my good friend PHILLY K.
Here are some nice things people have said about me:
Michael Higbee is an extremely talented singer-songwriter originally from Paris. He's currently making a name for himself playing gigs around New York showcasing his adept one man, two guitar parts playing style and excellent voice. Think Dave Matthews (in terms of playing style except, well, with some darker French influence too) meets Jeff Buckley or Roy Orbison. Do yourself a favor and listen to "All I should have told you" and then plan to be there early enough tomorrow night to see Mike's set. Earfarm http://earfarm.blogspot.com/
First among the five performers was Paris-to-New York transplant Mike Higbee, a singer-songwriter who alternated between acoustic and electric guitar. At first, I was pessimistic, as his opening songs were fairly straightforward surf-rock folk à la Jack Johnson. But as he loosened up, he showed off the full power of his voice and the impressive extent of his guitar skills. The longer he stayed on, the better he got and the more diverse his repertoire grew. He sang some great numbers in French, he invited instrumentalists to accompany him, and his style became all his own. Nerd Litter http://nerdlitter.blogspot.com/
