Fresh off the plane from 4 months on the international tour circuit Maitland favourites the Hussy Hicks are heading to the Grand Junction Hotel this weekend to kick off their Australian album launch tour.
The girls (Julz Parker and Leesa Gentz) left Aussie soil in April and have taken their tunes across the globe starting in China before heading to Europe and America.
“Playing to international audiences is incredible, we’ve had such a great experience!” Says Leesa, “But we’re so happy to be home and cant wait to take our new show around the country.”
The Hussy Hicks live set is a musical extravaganza, touching upon funk-gypsy through folk/country to high energy blues/roots and with their harmonies and intense rhythms they pump out a heck of a lot of sound for two small girls.
Julz’s eclectic approach to the acoustic guitar, rooted in the Emmanuel-esque tradition then inspired by Spanish streets, European gypsies and Arabic intricacies has been celebrated by guitar enthusiasts in all corners of the globe, Phil Emmanuel was recently quoted in Australian Guitar magazine saying that “Julz must be the country’s top female player”.
Leesa is most recognised for her soaring vocals and her ability to express her deepest emotions in every song, not to mention her outstandingly popular yodelling marathons.
Together the girls have found a beautiful balance between raw emotion and astonishing musicality – a world class combination which is a must see for music lovers.
The national tour will promote their debut album “Life Plays Out”, a mostly live collection of original tunes recorded with highly respected musician/producer Bill Chambers.
