Interview with Mike Biggar

MIKE BIGGAR is an award-winning Country-Rock artist from Canada’s East Coast. His infectious melodies are married to lyrics of life, love, and loss.  Powerful, punchy anthems with generous helpings of clever hooks and smart writing sit opposite intimate, tender ballads. Mike's soulful voice expresses a genuine vulnerability and draws listeners into his critically-acclaimed song writing. 

A veteran winner of both Music New Brunswick (2011) and East Coast Music Association (2012) awards, Mike was signed to Busted Flat Records in 2012 for national promotion and distribution of his latest album Feels Like Now. He was a national finalist in the 2013 CCMA FanFest Performance Contest and was recently named a 2013 semi-finalist in the prestigious, global International Songwriting Competition.  

Feels Like Now features a collection of original songs that fire on all artistic cylinders, including strong co-writes with Grammy-nominated, Canadian Country Music star and fellow New Brunswicker Chris Cummings, and B.C. Country Music Hall of Fame member and Nashville writer extraordinaire - the late Larry Wayne Clark. The first single Lucky Stars (Biggar/Cummings) features Chris in a guest duet vocal, and the song debuted in the top 100 on the Nielsen BDS Canadian Country radio charts ‘out of the box’, ahead of its commercial release. In 2012, Mike and Larry Wayne Clark’s soul-searching co-write Longing For Home was shortlisted with iconic CURB Records in Nashville to be recorded by country superstar Wynona Judd, further proving Mike Biggar’s capacity as a country music writer destined to be heard.
