About The Hussy Hicks:
If the description "wandering gypsy minstrels" fits
to anybody, it fits to the HUSSY HICKS 100%. Beside the Antarctica
there isn't any continent on this world, where they haven't played and
enjoyed their audience.
In June 2008 I've met these young ladies for the first time in the famous
(where else?) and I instantly liked
them (not hard, though!).
In a world where everything is reliant on a slick sales pitch or novelty marketing ploy the Hussy Hicks are a genuine breath of fresh air. This is a band that exists solely for their love of music, and not only do they love it, but they’re pretty damn good at too.
In a few short years Julz Parker and Leesa Gentz have racked up a remarkable list of festivals, venues and dedicated fans from around the globe, and they’ve done it all with a couple of instruments and a passionate desire to share their songs with the world.
The Hussy Hicks music is flavoured by a unique mix of influences and the girls present their songs in a very tongue in cheek yet beautifully musical way, each supporting the other in their distinctively different styles.
With outstanding vocal harmonies their acoustic sound is enhanced by an exotic selection of musical gems collected on their travels (percussion/mandolin/frog/Turkish finger cymbals/Chinese gongs etc).
Julz is -without any doubts - the best female australian guitar player.
Her 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 - spectacular, like Robert Plant in female trousers - although the best frog player in all the land, is most recognised for her soaring vocals and her ability to express her deepest emotions in every song and is a great yodeler too.
Together the girls have found a beautiful balance between raw emotion and an astonishing level of musicality. 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.
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.
These Australian girls reminds me what real 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.
So do yourself a favour: come and see and listen; you won't regret it - promised!

About Our House-Concerts:
I'm a strong supporter and enjoy-er of independent music & musicians.
For quite a while, my house is a place for wandering troubadours to
stay and relax and explore my hometown Berlin and have a good talk and
a cold beer.
I'm doing house-concerts just for the fun of it and also to
introduce my befriended musicians to people i know good enough to
believe they will enjoy this music as much as i do.
Usually there is a house-concert every month (sometimes 2 a month) in my basement which can hold up to 30 people comfortably.
ALL proceeds of the evening are going to the artist !
BEWARE: this can happen to you !
