One of Halifaxs newest female singer-songwriters, Rebekah Higgs pulled out all the stops when it came to putting her band together for her NXNE showcase. As if having Laura Barrett singing backup vocals and playing a slew of instrumental oddities wasnt enough, she also had fellow Haligonian and Hylozoists creator Paul Aucoin manning the vibraphone. But Higgs can certainly hold her own, as she proved with her powerful vocals and chatter between songs. If only every musician could be this equally talented and endearing.
