Straddling the line between Folk, Blues, Country, Rock and Roots, Hussy Hicks have earned themselves a mighty reputation, growing, from festival openers to festival favourites, seeing the group now appear at the biggest blues and roots festivals in Australia, The USA and across Europe while selling out their own tours across the three continents.
The band led by the duo of Leesa Gentz’ (vocals), Julz Parker (guitar) have spent the last fourteen years touring and forging their place as one the most treasured and celebrated working musical duos, whilst also being equally comfortable performing as a trio or in full band format, having taken home the Gold Coast Artist of the Year and Album of the Year honours.
The band have released seven studio albums and played 1000’s of gigs, festivals, carving out a global reputation for their emotive lyricism, energetic live shows and fiery, frenetic instrumentation. With their unique blend of folk, blues, country, and roots, Hussy Hicks have performed across Australia and internationally for more than 10 years, splitting their time between the Australian, USA and European festival circuits - where they are crowd favourites!
Their flawless live show is backed up by serious charting success with their most recent release "Swimming in Uncertainty" debuting a #1 on the AIR independant album charts and #1 in the ARIA blues charts as well as #16 in the ARIA all-genres album charts.
"Some artists need to be seen to be believed, and Hussy Hicks fit that category." - Sarah Howells, Double J
“Hussy Hicks Rock!” – Michael Franti
A not to be missed act that are ready for the world" - Peter Noble, Bluesfest Director
“These girls epitomise everything I admire about great music - instinct, passion, courage, creativity and a distinct refusal to compromise their vision" - Kim Cheshire, Country Update Magazine
Watching Julz Parker play her custom-made acoustic dreadnought is nothing short of breath-taking; a stark reminder of the huge gap between simply ‘playing guitar’ and the ability to make an instrument the extension of your musical imagination.”- Sabian Wilde, X Press Magazine
“Probably the best band you’ve never heard of” - Planet London
Joining Hussy Hicks will be Dan Hopkins and the Generous Few.
Australian artist Dan Hopkins plays a punchy brand of blues and roots that cover a spectrum of the blues tradition. From funky toe tapping roots to more traditional blues, Dan and his band create an experience that could only be described as powerful and authentic, culminating in an emotionally driven journey down a sweetly plucked and sometimes dirty slide guitar borne road across the Southern blues idiom. Drawing influence from a variety of practitioners from Muddy Waters through to Marcus King, Dan and band hit hard and create one helluva show.
