Indigie Femme has circled the globe, stirring audiences and gathering fans for more than a decade. Along the way they’ve been 2024 New Mexico Music Awards winners - Best Vocal Performance & Global Music Awards - Bronze Medallion Round and Round song and Listening Impact, 2017 Indigenous Music Award nominees; 2016, 2014 and 2012 New Mexico Music Award winners; 2013 Aboriginal Peoples Choice as Best International Duo; 2011 Native American Music Award winners and Sacramento Women of Color & Diversity Honorees; and 2010 Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards. They are especially well known in the two-spirit world of indigiqueer performance.

Elena Higgins (Maori/Samoan) and Tash Terry (Navajo/French/Irish) are only two women but they represent nearly a dozen ethnic traditions. In dark times and light, their unique blend of harmonies, rhythms, and instrumentation leave audiences spellbound and hopeful. Elena’s rich voice has been compared to that of Etta James and Tash has been said to echo Melissa Etheridge.

Elena brings her Maori and Samoan ancestors from New Zealand in new and moving vocals. Whether strumming her Australian Maton (upside-down guitar), offering harmonies or performing sweet a capella, she moves her audience to embrace her glorious smile and haunting sounds.

Tash comes from the Navajo Nation bringing with her that Nation’s songs and stories. She grew up hearing the mystical music of her masani (grandmother) whose awe for mother earth and devotion to Navajo ways was unshakable. Tash now renders that enduring spirit through her own musical interpretations both traditional and modern.

Indigie Femme has 9 albums in their collection of songs. .
