Great Southern Nights presents Hussy Hicks with Áine Tyrrell

We’re thrilled to welcome back the superb Hussy Hicks and Áine Tyrrell to the Brunswick Picture House!

HUSSY HICKS

A band of accomplished and powerful women, Hussy Hicks have made a name for themselves locally and on the international stage the old fashioned way — by playing their music and connecting with audiences one passionate performance at a time. Julz Parker is widely recognised amongst her peers as one of Australia’s finest guitar players, with a tone and approach that sits stylistically between Jimmy Page, Peter Green, Django Reinhardt and Tom Morello. Leesa Gentz’s powerhouse stage presence, soaring vocals and massive smile will steal your heart, have you hanging on every note and leave a tingle dancing down your spine.

Hussy Hicks have honed their sonic dexterity over the past 12 years with six studio albums, multiple industry awards and more than 1,000 live shows under their belts, from Australia’s biggest blues, roots and folk festivals to 15 plus international tours, which now sell out across Europe.

Known for their emotive lyricism, energetic live shows and fiery, frenetic instrumentation, it’s no surprise Hussy Hicks have staying power, scooping up awards and critical accolades around the country.

“Hussy Hicks Rock!” — Michael Franti

“Some artists need to be seen to be believed, and Hussy Hicks fit that category” — Sarah Howells, Double J

ÁINE TYRRELL

Having lived in so-called Australia for over a decade, Irish born singer-songwriter Áine Tyrrell rewrites what is imaginable every step of the way. She has earned herself the reputation of being an unmissable live act and can be found on stages across the world including Woodford Folk Festival, Shrewsbury Folk Festival (UK), Clonakilty International Guitar Festival (IRE), International Folk Alliance (USA) and many more.

In 2021, Áine was invited to join Irish President, Michael D O’Higgins and his wife Sabine in a ceremony and online tribute to the courage and creativity of Irish women. She has also garnered critical acclaim from national radio outlets in both Ireland and Australia with multiple radio appearances on ABC Radio, RTE Radio, Double J Radio, BBC NI Music and hit Number One on Ireland’s national broadcaster RTE’s Independent Music Charts.

Whether she is holding court online, in an intimate room or in front of thousands in a festival tent, it is obvious to all, that the thousands of years of Irish storytelling runs deep in her blood and audiences can’t help but fall in love with her alluring voice and captivating ways.

“Tyrrell's incredible journey is one you'd be well advised to follow.” - The Australian
