Rootsy Australian duo “pack more energy, emotion and sheer musical exuberance into one song than most manage in a whole career”

Bridging the gap between Bluegrass, Trad Folk and The Blues, Australia’s Hat Fitz and Cara have spent 15 years travelling and elevating the mood at festivals and venues all over the world. The husband and wife duo are delighted to announce the next chapter of their stellar career together with the release of their sixth album ‘At The Couch Sessions’.

Recorded in the cozy confines of their hinterland home in Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, this new recording captures the warmth, raw energy, and unfiltered authenticity that has characterised this artist since they first got the bright idea to combine Hat Fitz’s hill country blues with Cara’s huge voice and Irish sense of humour.

Joined by the extraordinary Andrew ‘The Mouse’ Szumowski on organ, and captured by expert engineers of Paulie B and Steve from Yama Nui Studios, the album unfolds like a heartfelt conversation between friends.

The accompanying video content was filmed by Justin Brown of Brown Dog Productions, and brings the audience even closer to the intimate experience of master musicians creating in their living room.

At The Couch Sessions Live is available wherever good music is streamed, and on CD from their shop.
