America’s Elmore Magazine reviews Hand It Over

Thanks to Elmore Magazine for a cracking review of ‘Hand It Over’. Read it in full here. They also enjoyed our show in New Orleans Folk Alliance, reviewing our show here:

“Old favorites Hat Fitz and Cara were deservedly front and center in a big room, to a packed house. With the richest voice since Barry White, Aussie Hat Fitz also wields a mean resonator, his hands a blur at times. An Aussie by choice and marriage, Cara’s soulful wail could be straight out of Memphis or Detroit rather than her native Dublin. During this set, Cara shifted from drums to washboard-with-cowbells to pennywhistle, and danced joyfully through the audience. Always entertaining, Hat Fitz and Cara bring humor and love to everything they do and succeed in sharing both with their audiences.”
