Scenestr interview ahead of our Australian tour

“Fitzy decided that it would be really funny to wind me up before a show because he felt that when I was angry I played with more force. He did it a few times, but then he decided it wasn’t worth it.” More interview with Cara at Scenestr here.

HAT FITZ AND CARA EUROPEAN TOUR

Jamdays 2017 – Review

“Let’s hope that this charming, energetic couple will once again want to get around on this side of the globe. They are definitely worth a visit.”

Read the great review by BLUESNEWS.DK following our show in Denmark at the weekend, here

 

Album of the Week

Album of the Week After the RainWe are delighted that Sydney’s East Side FM have reviewed are album and made it Album of the Week! and ‘Album of the Moment’! They said: “‘After the Rain’ captures Hat Fitz and Cara’s unique, powerful sound, offering us an album of a rare quality that will delight the ears of every blues and country lover.”
One of the highlights for them was on ‘Tank Man’; “Hat Fitz takes the power, and sings with a deep, gruff Howlin’ Wolf-esqe voice, for what’s probably one of the record’s best tracks.”
