Hat Fitz & Cara

Hat Fitz & Cara’s musical style is a unique combination of hill-style Gospel blues with old time flavourings. This husband and wife duo embellishes impeccable rootsy originals with soulful vocals reminiscent of a time once forgotten. Hat Fitz is a “veteran” wild man of the blues scene in Australia. He has a record 18 straight appearances at Byron’s East Coast Blues and Roots Festival, a record that is not likely to ever be broken, and one which bears testimony to his amazing live performances and popularity with festival goers. Cara draws on her soul background (she’s toured Europe and the United States with singers such as Jamiroquai and Corinne Bailey-Rae), and although blessed with a sensational voice she was not content to be labelled as ‘just a singer’. She has taken to drumming duties as well as washboards, flute and tin whistle, sometimes all at once. Together this pair will take you on a musical journey with ample, boisterous highs, and longing, bluesy lows. From the Australian outback to the Canadian shield, Hat Fitz & Cara put on a show that is guaranteed to energize and invigorate. "Simple, powerful, full of the inherent realism we've come to expect from these two, a stellar effort." - Samuel J. Fell (Rhythms / Rolling Stone).
