ANN ARBOR, MICH. (Top40 Charts/ Borders PR) - Borders welcomes Australian singer and songwriter
Missy Higgins to seven stores across the nation for exclusive, in-store performances in support of her "On a Clear Night" CD and sold-out tour. Customers without tickets to Higgins' concerts can catch her performing free at Borders beginning today at the Columbus Circle store in New York. Higgins finishes her Borders in-store tour Oct. 20 at the Hollywood and Vine store in Hollywood. Prior to its American release in 2008, customers can only find "On a Clear Night" CD at Borders stores nationwide.
Higgins' sophomore CD, "On a Clear Night," sold more than 70,000 copies and was certified platinum before it even hit stores in Australia. Within months, "On a Clear Night" was certified triple platinum. The lead single, "Steer," quickly rose to number one on the Australian music charts as the album also topped the charts. Her debut release, "The Sound of White," sold over 650,000 copies and produced the hit singles "Scar" and "The Special Two." Higgins began writing songs in 2001 while she was still in boarding school and built an audience based on nonstop touring. She has been nominated 11 times for the Australian Recording Industry Association Music Awards - "the Down Under GRAMMYS" - including for Female Artist of the Year and Album of the Year. Her new album was recorded with GRAMMY nominated producer, Mitchell Froom, who worked previously with Crowded House, Elvis Costello and Ron Sexsmith.
