Missy Higgins follows headining gigs with Indigo Girls dates

Singer/songwriter Missy Higgins , currently in the midst of a US headlining tour, will hit the road this fall as the opening act on Indigo Girls' East Coast run.

The Australian performer continues her current outing tomorrow night (7/29) in Boston, with additional shows set through the first week of August. The support work with Indigo Girls kicks off Sept. 11 in Spartanburg, SC, with Higgins currently on the bill for 10 shows in September. Details are included below.

Higgins, who relocated temporarily to Los Angeles last year, continues to tour behind her sophomore studio effort, "On a Clear Night," which was released early last year in her native Australia, but didn't arrive in the US until a few months ago.

The album, featuring the single "Steer," which earned the artist her second No. 1 record honor in Australia, was recorded in Los Angeles and produced by studio ace Mitchell Froom (Elvis Costello, Pearl Jam).

Higgins' new "Steer EP," currently available exclusively through Apple's iTunes Music Store, includes the title track and another song from the album, "100 Round the Bends," plus a pair of live cuts.

The singer made her recording debut with 2004's "The Sound of White," a massively popular album in Australia, where it sold more than a half million copies and remained on the country's Top 100 chart for more than two years.
