Missy Higgins

HOBART SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT A few years ago I got asked to do a show with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra in this incredible outdoor location called Skyfields in the forest outside Devonport. I’ve always loved playing outdoors as well as with orchestras, both seem to somehow elevate my music to a new level. It was an amazing experience. The songs came alive in unexpected ways when we introduced all the other instruments. I can’t wait to do it again, this time at Wrest Point Lawns in Hobart on Sat 15 Feb next year. Fan pre-sale start tomorrow, Thu 22 Aug at 10:00am Tas local time and lasts until 10:00am Sat 24 Aug or until allocation exhausted.

Perth! My show at Kings Park with MEG MAC, Didirri and We The Coterie on Sat 1 Feb is on sale now. Tickets: bit.ly/MissyPerth Photo by Simone Gorman-Clark

PERTH SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT Hey everyone! Back in February I had a career-first when I was forced to cancel my slot at the Coming Home Tour show in Perth with John Butler because I was sick as a dog. At the time I was so proud of never having cancelled a gig, so I felt awful in so many ways when I had to bite the bullet. The good news is that I’m coming good on my promise to make it up to you with a special one-off gig on Sat 1 Feb at Kings Park & Botanic Garden. This time I’m bringing along MEG MAC as well as Didirri, two incredible artists that I’m so excited to see live. Fan pre-sale start tomorrow, Wed 14 Aug at 9:00am Perth local time and lasts until 5:00pm Sun 18 Aug or until allocation exhausted. The pre-sale is happening via my newsletter, so if you haven't signed up yet head to www.missyhiggins.com/mailing-list and I'll resend the link an hour before the pre-sale starts. General public on-sale Mon 19 Aug at 9:00am Perth local time. I’ll see you soon! Missy x

Wow, I never in my wildest dreams imagined The Special Two sounding like this!! I had a smile ear to ear watching and listening to this (very) old song of mine be reborn. Takes on a whole new meaning. Very cool, thanks Dear Seattle!

My brilliant friend Maya has written and narrated this beautiful little piece about the power of nature to restore our eco-systems... that the forgotten solution is right there in front of us, nature can repair itself if we only let it...! 🌲 🌞 🧡 https://www.facebook.com/WeCanSolveThis/videos/433214687517718/

See you in Queenscliff this November Queenscliff Music Festival 🌺

A huge Happy Mother’s Day to all you amazing mums out there. It can be such an isolating and challenging time, and these days more than ever it’s hard to feel truly connected to each other. So I want to tell you that you’re not alone, I see you out there and you’re doing a bloody incredible job at keeping those little human’s alive. I also want to send love to everyone doing it tough today, who perhaps has lost their mum, or lost a child. You need all the love and hugs in the world today, so as much as I can through the silly internet, I am sending that to you right now. Here’s a video of my boy Sammy showing his appreciation for the song I released on Friday that I wrote for him (it’s called ’Song For Sammy’). Have a listen at missyhiggins.lnk.to/SongForSammy :) Missy x

New single 'Song For Sammy' 💗 missyhiggins.lnk.to/SongForSammy Hey everyone! Today I’m doing a special little thing. I’m releasing a song for Mother’s Day. It’s a ukulele song I wrote for my boy Sammy a little while ago when he was a wee baby. I came up with the melody one night when i was doing laps of the room, rocking him back and forth trying to get him to sleep. I just kept singing this melody over and over and over, so much so that a song started to form in my head. When he finally went to sleep I put him down, went out of the room and quietly sung this song into my phone. The next day I put the lyrics to it. It’s a song about the crazy extreme emotions that come with being a parent for the first time. The feeling that you would do ANYTHING for this kid, which is at once exhilarating and terrifying. Suddenly your heart is ripped open and exposed to all the elements. Vulnerable but so, so alive. Exhausted but drunk on love. Acutely aware of all the children in the world and how that is, actually, every single goddamn person. How every man is somebody’s son, every woman is somebody’s daughter. And how realising that, changes everything. Anyone that’s been coming to my shows knows that I’ve been playing this song live for quite a while now, and I’ve wanted to release it but it’s never quite been the right time. And I realise too now, that having a song for Sammy I’ll have to write one for Luna or there’ll be some serious sibling rivalry going on one day and I ain’t paying for those therapy fees! So perhaps that’ll be next, watch this space :) I really hope you enjoy it. Thanks everyone, thanks heaps for all your support. I’ll keep keeping you updated on my goings-on, on the big family/life/music juggle… until then! Love ya, Missy x

My main man Dan and his mate Derek have started a Podcast about Fatherhood called ‘Hang On To Your Hat!’ It’s not about teaching guys to be better fathers or interviewing experts on parenting, it is simply a funny and sometimes touchingly earnest chat between friends about the struggles and challenges of being a modern Dad. It’s really great for father’s who don’t feel like they have a support network and sometimes feel a bit alone in their journey. I also like tuning is as I find my husband really damn funny. Ben (Tuffy) Lee, Dan’s brother, is the latest to be interviewed and it is such a great listen. They’ve also chatted with my dad, my good friend Brett Cousins and the hilarious Scott Edger from Tripod which I highly recommend checking out. Enjoy and tell your new Dad friends!

This past Valentine’s Day I was lucky enough to perform my songs to an incredible crowd in front of the Sydney Opera House. Here's a bit of 'Scar' from that amazing night! You can watch the full concert at soh.online/missy 💘

Well the tour is finished. Wow. Great show to finish on at the Gold Coast Convention Centre on Saturday night. We were lucky enough to have Dan Sultan open up who blew the whole audience away. I need a little while to recuperate now and concentrate on health and sleep and family as it’s all a bit haywire from the last couple of months and I’m a bit frazzled. Touring with baby is no fricken joke. But I do want to say thank you so much to the band and crew who are like family and especially you guys, the fans, who came to see us live. Im so so so so grateful you keep coming out and being so generous with your time and energy and allowing me to do what I do, I love it so bloody much and will never take it for granted. Speak soon, Missy 😘😘😘😘😘 📸 by Rob Rizza LIVE

On the cover of Sunday Life in The Sun-Herald and The Sunday Age today with my Luna! She’s so gorgeous that I don’t even mind sharing the spotlight 💗

Hi friends, sending you a message from WA where we kicked off the Coming Home Tour with John Butler Trio+ last weekend! Such gorgeous crowds, and so many cute kiddies dancing front of stage! It’s been a truly magical week in Margaret River, especially spending some time with John and Danielle and their beautiful family and community. Yesterday we swam in water holes, sun-baked on rocks, dodged bull ant nests and Christmas spiders, ate homemade spaghetti with salad from the garden and laughed around an un-made fire. This has been good for the soul and so inspiring in so many ways, looking forward. Sammy has been in nudie heaven, running through the bush like a wild man. Then this arvo to top it off John Butler tattooed a beautiful little moon onto my wrist, to represent my daughter, my Luna. My squeezable little love. Now I have an arrow on my foot for my boy Sammy Arrow, and a moon on my wrist for Luna. What’s next I wonder… For now, we’re in Perth from tomorrow for two nights at Kings Park - the first night is sold out but there’s a few tickets left to the Saturday night show! Then we’re off to the east coast, doing a whole bunch of shows at iconic venues including Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne and the Sydney Opera House forecourt in Sydney. Only a few tickets left to these shows so get in quick… head to www.missyhiggins.com/shows ! Also so happy to hear that ‘The Sound of White’ and ‘On A Clear Night’ debuted at #1 and #2 on the vinyl charts after their release last week! ‘The Sound of White’ even made it to the full ARIA Albums Chart top 20 for the first time since 2007 (!!!). There are only a few copies left of each album, head to www.missyhiggins.com/vinyl to grab them while you can! Love Missy x @ Margaret River, Western Australia
