Darrel Higham is a contemporary torchbearer for classic rockabilly, echoing the stylings from the days of Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran. Born on January 5, 1970, in Essex, England, Higham developed a fervent passion for the rockabilly scene at a young age, honing his skills as a guitarist and a singer. His deep reverence for the genre is evident in the meticulous care he takes in crafting his music, which often serves as a homage to the trailblazers of the 1950s.

Higham embarked on his musical journey in the late 1980s, and since then, he's become not just a respected musician, but a notable figure in the rockabilly revival movement. He has played with various bands, including his own backing band, The Enforcers, and has collaborated with a number of prominent musicians in the genre. In his extensive discography, one finds an artist dedicated to tradition while still bringing his distinct energy and interpretation to each track. Notable releases such as "A Tribute to Johnny & Dorsey Burnette," "Made in England," and "Hell's Hotel" highlight his versatility and deep-seated knowledge of rockabilly nuances. Aside from his solo career, Higham was also noted for being married to and performing with Imelda May, a music artist known for blending rockabilly with blues and jazz influences.
