Hussy Hicks + Minnie Marks

Canberra Blues Society proudly presents Hussy Hicks plus special guest support Minnie Marks. Straddling the line between Folk, Blues, Country, and Roots, Hussy Hicks have earned themselves a mighty reputation. Growing from festival openers to festival favourites, the group now appears at the biggest blues and roots festivals in Australia, the US and across Europe and sell out their own tours across the three continents.

Support act Minnie Marks is not just some blazingly electrified guitar playing freak of nature. She is also a rare triple threat: singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.
