Formed in the early spring of 2005 in Spartanburg, South Carolina Marc Higgins Band has become an upstate "must hear and see" with other regions soon to follow. After touring in support of their 2006 debut CD Change is Good, Marc Higgins Band 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 came 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! Keith Wilkins is the man on bass! With an eclectic background in such bands as Deja Blue and The Giants. This is one electrifying 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.
