BIOGRAPHY

There are dozens of words that can describe the music of the Hussy Hicks – passionate, spontaneous, exuberant, emotive, intricate, explosive and fun spring to mind – but there is nothing that can adequately describe the feeling that swells in the heart of their audience during a live performance. It’s that inexplicable magic that has swept these two girls from the small town pub where they first met on a journey that has spread their unique acoustic music across the globe and seen them perform on some of the most prestigious venue and festival stages across Europe, China, America, the Middle East and their home country of Australia.

Julz Parker’s eclectic approach to the acoustic guitar, initially inspired by her dad’s extensive blues record collection, is rooted in the Emmanuel-esque tradition then inspired by Spanish streets, European gypsies and Arabic intricacies and has been celebrated by guitar enthusiasts all around the world. Leesa Gentz is most recognised for her soaring vocals, endearing stage presence and her ability to express her deepest emotions in every song.

Their set touches 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.

Hussy Hicks have just released their second studio album "A million different truths" which follows on from their debut "Life plays out" and their DVD "Live at the Soundlounge"



QUOTES:

“HUSSY HICKS has a sound all of its own. The songs on this album are at the same time simple yet endlessly interesting and optimistic yet heartbreakingly honest and raw. It is an album written and sung from the heart, and the music has a real capacity to connect with something universal in each of us.” – Susan Jarvis, Capital News



“…the Australian girls reminded me and the public what real world music is all about: sweat, beat, tapping feet, feel, passions of smart players and real human beings! You do not need an introduction to know who they are, or to know if they are on MTV or in the top hits list. Just the joy of good music in a live concert……”

"Julz must be the country's top female player." - Phil Emmanuel (in Australian Guitar Magazine)



“[Leesa] spectacular, like Robert Plant in female trousers!” - Pierpaolo Adda, Guitar Ranch Italy
