HUSSY HICKS

Known for their killer live shows, Hussy Hicks captivate audiences with their infectious energy, tight harmonies, and musical versatility, creating an unforgettable performance that leaves fans wanting more every time.

Straddling the line between Folk, Blues, Country, Rock and Roots, the band have earned themselves a mighty reputation, growing, from festival openers to festival favourites, seeing the group now appear at the biggest blues, roots, folk and country festivals in Australia, the USA and across Europe while selling out their own tours across the three continents.

Leesa Gentz’s soaring vocals and Julz Parker’s insane guitar work are at the heart of their electrifying sound backed up by the tasty, rock solid rhythms of Ali Foster (drums) and Tracy Stephens (bass).

Since their formation in 2006, Hussy Hicks have built a loyal fanbase, with their latest studio album, Swimming in Uncertainty, reaching #1 on the ARIA Jazz & Blues Chart and topping the AIR Independent Album Chart. Their 2025 live album went straight to number one on the ARIA AUS Country Chart and was also ARIA Australian top 10 and #1 on the AIR Charts.

WAYNE JURY

Wayne Jury is more than blues. He is recognised as a multi-talented tunesmith (signed as ‘House Writer’ and artist to the legendary J Albert and Son Publishing, home of AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, Easybeats since 1994.)

Wayne’s versatility as a performer sees him at ease with ensembles or solo, delving deep into soul, jazz, and rock to combine these genres with his distinctive voice, style, and performance. Fronting rock bands across Australia since he was 16, Wayne’s been called on by some of Australia’s most iconic bands to front their gigs when they’ve been missing a lead singer. His initiation into the world of music began in Geelong supporting Australia’s finest touring bands (AC/DC, Ayers Rock, Little River Band, Buffalo, Cold Chisel, Dragon, to name but a few).  Since then he has played thousands of gigs all over Australia, including opening for blues greats Robert Cray, Albert Collins, Canned Heat, BB King, Chris Cain, and Buddy Guy.

His own bands have included Black Cat Moan, soul band Drybones, as well as front man for legends Ron & Jeff King (Foreday Riders) and young guitar prodigy, Nathan Cavalleri.

Wayne will kick off this IN CONCERT special show with a solo performance that is unmissable.

“Wayne Jury is one of the best blues singers in this country.”
