Charlie Higgins is an American guitarist, singer and songwriter who, together with his band Sunset Station, has developed a dedicated following in Mexico’s Bahia de Banderas with a rich blend of roots rock, blue-eyed soul and west coast Americana.
On Gringo, the band’s first EP, Higgins presents six original songs that combine engaging, no-frills arrangements, brought to life by lyrics that are equal parts heartfelt sentiment and dark humor exploring his experiences with modern love, loss and addiction.
The band is currently working on its self-produced first full length LP Just Stay a Little Longer scheduled for release in 2024. The album is an eclectic batch of deeply personal songs, many of which Higgins wrote during the height of the Pandemic, expressing his unexpected realizations about both the importance of love and companionship in hard times and his reckoning with the often self-serving quality of such love. Ranging from stripped-down folk to multi-layered pscyhedelic soul, the album is a testament to the power of music of all shapes and sizes to lead us through spiritual and emotional transition when the moment calls for it.
