Courtney Robb + The Hushes

 

Courtney Robb

Courtney Robb

When you are watching Adelaide songstress, Courtney Robb, the first thing that hits you is a rare honesty and sense of self that pulls you along with her on an emotional roller coaster. Her husky, but undoubtedly Australian vocals are woven with purposefully delicate guitar in a style teetering on the edges of folk, country and blues. Robb is not afraid to bare her soul, to share stories of love, belonging, heartache and failure.

In 2010, Courtney was chosen by Triple J Unearthed to attend the Sydney Song Summit and be a part of exclusive songwriting sessions with some of Australia's finest including Kevin Mitchell (AKA Bob Evans), Julian Hamilton from the Presets and Megan Washington. Courtney has performed at Gorgeous Festival, Fleurieu Folk Festival, Wirrina Bluegrass Festival and Red Desert Live.

The Hushes

The Hushes

The Hushes combine the talents of blues maestro Cal Williams Jr, sultry chanteuse Emily Davis and acclaimed jazz double bassist Kory Horwood. The Hushes revive and reinterpret the enduring sounds of the Appalachian mountains, bluegrass, gospel, and folk music as they perform original songs inspired by the dark, the divine and the disturbed. The Hushes have recently been nominated for Best Blues Guitarist (Cal Williams Jr), Best Blues Vocalist (Emily Davis) and Best Blues Bassist (Kory Horwood) in the Derringers Australian Blues Awards.

Bringing their trademark brand of acerbic wit, charming onstage banter, and enough smouldering tension to set a small house on fire, The Hushes promise to deliver a dark carousel ride to live music lovers around the globe.
