Field Trip: Missy Higgins

Put Missy Higgins on the list of "Mucicians I Want To Follow Around the Country in a VW Van" (Ryan Adams, Wilco, Brandi Carlile, The Avett Brothers, My Morning Jacket, Bruuuce, Neil Young, and The Hold Steady).

MH is a mere wisp of a girl with a strong and lovely voice. She's a good (and improving) song writer who moves easily from ballads to rockers. But, what puts her in the top of my favorites list is that she is a completely engaging performer. She commands the audience's attention with her confidence and sparkle.

Before the show I had pretty much decided on a top ten concert list for 2008. It now must be redone.
