Contact Email – ​Mail@Hussyhicks.Com A band of accomplished and powerful women, Hussy Hicks have made a name for themselves locally and on the international stage the old fashioned way – by playing their music and connecting with audiences one passionate performance at a time. Julz Parker is widely recognised amongst her peers as one of Australia's finest guitar players, with a tone and approach that sits stylistically between Jimmy Page, Peter Green, Django Reinhardt and Tom Morello. Leesa Gentz's powerhouse stage presence, soaring vocals and massive smile will steal your heart, have you hanging on every note and leave a tingle dancing down your spine. It is now 10 years since they released their debut album, Life Plays Out, and Hussy Hicks are currently on the road introducing fans old and new to their fifth full length offering, 'On the Boundaries'. This album experiments with their sound and production to create something familiar yet fresh and the results are nothing short of stunning. They run the gamut of musical genres incorporating blues, folk and riffy rock with gypsy, surf, alt country and soul, all cheekily woven together with beautiful vocal harmonies. “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 Releases 2017 - CD & Vinyl “On The Boundaries” collaboration with Raphael White 2016 – CD & Vinyl “Lucky Joe’s Wine and other tales from Dog River” 2014 – Live CD “Broadbeach Blues Bootleg” 2013 – CD “The London Sessions” 2012 – CD “Postcards and Previews” Live in Switzerland 2010 – CD “A Million Different Truths” (produced by Hussy Hicks and Ando Van Andony) 2009 – Live DVD “Hussy Hicks Live at The Soundlounge” (produced by Gaia Films) 2008 – CD “Life Plays Out” (produced by Bill Chambers) Selection of past festivals: International Australian Sarzana International Guitar Meeting, Italy Byron Bay Bluesfest, NSW Madame Guitar Festival, Tricesimo Italy Falls Festival, NSW Alcamo Blues Festival, Sicily Port Fairy Folk Festival, Vic Galago Jazz Festival, Sicily Fairbridge Folk Festival, WA Berlin Carnival of Cultures, Germany Nannup Music Festival, WA Marienplatz Festival, Stuttgart Germany Blues at Bridgetown, WA Beijing Midi Festival, China Apollo Bay Music Festival, Vic Dubai Original Music Festival, UAE Queenscliff Music Festival, Vic Hamburg Stadtkultur Festival, Germany Gympie Muster, QLD Memorial Unleashed, Florida USA Mullum Music Festival, NSW L Fest, UK Peak Festival, NSW Les Bains Rocks, France Bello Winter Music, NSW Blue Balls Festival, Switzerland Blues on broadbeach, QLD Contact Email – [email protected] … Website – www.hussyhicks.com … Facebook - www.facebook.com/hussyhicks ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Media site with music download and high res photos – www.hussyhicks.com/en/media ​.

  • Charlie Musselwhite (USA)
    Charlie Musselwhite (USA) Harmonica master Charlie Musselwhite’s life reads like a classic blues song: born in Mississippi, raised in Memphis and schooled on the South Side of Chicago. A groundbreaking recording artist since the 1960s, Musselwhite continues to create trailblazing music while remaining firmly rooted in the blues. His worldly-wise vocals, rich, melodic harmonica playing and deep country blues guitar work flawlessly accompany his often autobiographical and always memorable original songs. Musselwhite grew up surrounded by blues, hillbilly and gospel music on the radio and outside his front door. Later Charlie living on the South Side, Chicago hung out in blues clubs, developing close friendships with blues icons Little Walter, Big Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson, Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf. Before long, he was sitting in at clubs with Muddy and others, building an impressive word-of-mouth reputation. During his career Musselwhite has guested on numerous recordings, as a featured player with Tom Waits, Eddie Vedder, Ben Harper, John Lee Hooker (personal friend and best man at his wedding), Bonnie Raitt, The Blind Boys of Alabama, INXS and most recently Cyndi Lauper. He has shared stages with countless blues and rock musicians. He was inducted into the Blues Foundation’s Blues Hall Of Fame in 2010, has been nominated for six Grammy Awards and has won 24 Blues Music Awards. Musselwhite’s blues, imparting his hard-won knowledge and working class wisdom, are a window into the deep well of his Mississippi soul. Mia Dyson MIA DYSON “THE MOMENT” You are Mia Dyson and you’ve worked your ass off the past decade to be heard on the Australian continent.

Williams Short Biography Karl S. Williams – singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, visual artist and poet – an artist that you never saw coming. A genre defying and multifaceted musician, for whom music is a vocation and the solution is, to love more. What makes Karl truly remarkable, is that he is unafraid. With complete humility and the charisma of a ‘rock-star’, he wears his heart on his sleeve, he speaks universal truths and he crosses boundaries. This is blues, roots, folk and Americana, if you will… but not as you know it. Karl’s music is steeped in the swamp water of the cane country of Northern NSW, the landscape of his childhood. His songs are a distillation of life, love and the human condition.
