Bluegrass and country duo Hussy Hicks are set to drop a new record that encompassess not just Australian country, but is a sum of their global touring experiences.
Taking the spirit of the surf of the Gold Coast and the rhythm and blues of America’s Deep South, Julz Parker and Leesa Gentz, known together as Hussy Hicks, have embodied the best of both in their new album.
With a typically southern title (though inspired by the duo’s European touring schedule),Lucky Joe’s Wine (And Other Tales From Dog River) was recorded deep in the heart of Dixie and proves to be a completely new direction for the Australian-based duo, moving in to a more alt-country, Southern feel. It’s due out on Friday February 12.
Hussy Hicks are touring to support the record, landing two coveted spots at Byron Bay’s Bluesfest, Thursday March 24 to Monday March 28. They also play Lazybones Lounge on Saturday February 13, Meatstock Festival at Sydney Showgrounds, Saturday February 13 – Sunday February 14, and The Brass Monkey on Sunday February 14.
