American folk singer-songwriter, Gary Higgins, was born in Sharon, Connecticut. With a unique blend of introspective lyrics and soulful melodies, Higgins has captivated audiences for decades.

His music draws inspiration from a wide range of influences, including artists such as Simon Finn, Mark Fry, Pearls Before Swine, and Bobb Trimble. Known for his poetic storytelling and intricate guitar work, Higgins' songs have an undeniable depth that resonates with listeners.

Throughout his career, Higgins has released several critically acclaimed albums that have solidified his place in the folk music scene. His discography includes standout tracks like "Red Hash" and "Thicker Than a Smokey."

the drag city reissue of gary higgins' 1974 psychfolk classic 'red hash' album was the reissue event of 2005. 'a dream a while back' is a collection of songs recorded around the time preceding 'red hash'. the songs reveal the deep strain in gary's songwriting: bittersweet but playful, pointed but impressionistic, eerie and insistent. vocal-andguitar recordings present the songs humbly, but before long the lyrics and melodic changes are drifting like smoke into the listener's mind, clouding simplicity with paradox while pointing towards inevitable truth. 'a dream a while back' is another powerful entry point into the long and winding history of gary higgins.
