Straddling the line between Folk, Blues, Country, Rock and Roots
Known for their killer live shows, Hussy Hicks captivate audiences with their infectious energy, tight harmonies, and musical versatility, creating an unforgettable performance that leaves fans wanting more every time.
For the past decades Tamworth Country Music Festival has been a staple in the Hussy Hicks’ yearly calendar as a place to catch up with all their friends, from a lifetime of music making, in one place. You may have seen the girls backing Beccy Cole as ‘Sisters of Twang’, caught them at the Maton showcase or spotted them jumping up on stages round the festival with everyone from Bill Chambers, Luke O’Shea and the Toombs Brothers to Uncle Bob’s Jug band.
For this one off afternoon at the beautiful Capitol Theatre the band will invite some of their nearest and dearest musical friends to be part of the show. Sometimes when anything can happen, the best things do.
Straddling the line between Folk, Blues, Country, Rock and Roots, the band have earned themselves a mighty reputation, growing, from festival openers to festival favourites, seeing the group now appear at the biggest blues, roots, folk and country festivals in Australia, the USA and across Europe while selling out their own tours across the three continents.
"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
Since their formation in 2006, Hussy Hicks have built a loyal fanbase, with their latest studio album, Swimming in Uncertainty, reaching #1 on the ARIA Jazz & Blues Chart and topping the AIR Independent Album Chart. Their 2025 live album went straight to number one on the AUS Country Chart and was also ARIA Australian top 10 and #1 on the AIR Charts.
Leesa Gentz’s soaring vocals and Julz Parker’s insane guitar work are at the heart of their electrifying sound backed up by the tasty, rock solid rhythms of Ali Foster (drums) and Tracy Stephens (bass).
"Some artists need to be seen to be believed, and Hussy Hicks fit that category." -
Sarah Howells, Double J
