The CD cover features artwork by Higgins, who also is a painter, sculptor and interior designer. Other examples of her artwork are on display at SkyHeart Studio in Gloversville, where the band performed Aug. 27.
Higgins says now that their second album is completed, the group is looking forward to doing more live performances around the region.
