Charlie Higgins

Charlie Higgins (February 26, 1878 - November 25, 1967) was an American old time fiddle player from Galax, Virginia.

[1][2] Higgins said that he was influenced by other old-time fiddlers including Emmett Lundy and Fiddlin' Arthur Smith.

Higgins played regularly with Wade Ward, Dale Poe and other old-time musicians in the Galax area.

However, he was still good enough at age 82 to win first place at the 1960 Galax Old Fiddler's Convention.

[4] Higgins died in 1967 and is buried with his wife Mallie at the Coal Creek Community Church in Galax, Virginia.
