"...a unique mix of influences....energetic, yet intimate"
Having spent the past few years living and playing overseas, Julz Parker and Leesa Gentz are full of stories and songs and have collaborated to form the Hussy Hicks. Proudly independent, between them the girls have performed on every continent, from the intimate coffeehouse circuit of the USA, to major festivals including Glastonbury, UK; The Plateau Festival, NJ America, and the Soave International Guitar Festival in Italy.
The Hussy Hicks music is flavoured by a unique mix of influences, and present their songs in an energetic yet intimate way, each supporting the other in their distinctively different styles whilst sharing an onstage chemistry that can only be described as captivating. |

Their vocal harmonies are outstanding and their acoustic sound is enhanced by an exotic selection of musical gems collected on their travels (guitar/percussion/mandolin/frog/Turkish finger cymbals etc). 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. Leesa, although the best frog player in all the land, is most recognised for her passionate vocals. Her ability to express her deepest emotions shines through in every song and whether she is singing 3 notes or exploring the highs, lows and different timbres of her range, you can always feel her heart. Together the girls have found a beautiful balance between raw emotion and an astonishing level of musicality which reflects a collective 30 years of experience. Their songs, although uniquely their own, all embrace the questions, observations, thoughts and ever changing opinions on life and the world that we live in, and with a warm and honest approach to every gig, these girls are winning hearts with every step of the Journey. |

Music is such a part of our emotional makeup - it can make you patriotic, it can make you want to fight, it can make you want to cry" Reproduced with the kind permission of Jimmy Barnes from his book Say It Loud |
