Hatz Fitz & Cara
Convict Rhythm and Roots
Fitz and Cara, two of Australia’s most captivating roots music artists, have spent over 16 years crafting their sound, captivating audiences across the globe, and leaving a trail of soulful melodies wherever they go. From festival stages to intimate venues, this husband-and-wife duo has released five critically acclaimed albums—and now, they’re back with something truly special.
Their sixth album, “The Couch Sessions Live,” invites listeners into the heart of their creative world. Recorded in the cozy confines of their stunning hinterland home in South East Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, this project captures the warmth, raw energy, and unfiltered authenticity that define their live performances.
Joined by the extraordinary Andrew Szumowski, affectionately known as “The Mouse,” and guided by the expert engineering of Paulie B and Steve from Yama Nui Studios, the album unfolds like a heartfelt conversation between friends. Filmed by Justin Brown of Brown Dog Productions, the visuals bring you even closer to the duo’s world, offering a glimpse of their artistry in its purest form.
“The Couch Sessions Live” isn’t just an album—it’s an experience. Each note carries the warmth of their home, the passion of their performances, and the deep connection they share with their audience. This is roots music at its most honest, raw, and utterly enchanting.
Their festival touring circuit takes in Australia, the UK, North America and Europe where their modern blend of old-timey-influenced sounds is equally at home in a variety of settings from folk or Americana main stages to blues and acoustic venues. While the singer/songwriters are both multi-instrumentalists, it's Fitzy's weathered vocals and soaring blues-soaked guitar combined with Cara's pounding drums and soulful honey coated voice that show them at the peak of their creative power.
Winners of Blues Album Of The Year at the 2013 Australian Chain Awards and UK Spiral Earth, Hat Fitz & Cara also won Best Vocal Of The Year at the 2015 Chain Awards and were finalists in the 2015 Memphis International Blues Challenge in the USA.
Semi Finals of IAMA’s 2020 with two songs in for the best Duo.
