Hat Fitz & Cara Robinson at The Alma Friday 6th August. From 8.30pm Image:Http://www.thealmapub.com/uploads/2/6/2/0/2620232/5206846.jpg What a combination!
One of Australia’s festival favourites and perennial showstopper Hat Fitz is now joined on stage by Northern Ireland’s critically acclaimed vocalist extraordinaire and multi instrumentalist Cara Robinson on drums, washboard, flute and tin whistle.
Recent performances overseas saw the duo play a total of 81 shows including some of the world’s most prestigious festivals across England, Ireland, France and Scotland to packed houses and rave reviews.
The blending of pre war hill country and delta blues with traditional celtic and early Australian folk has produced a truly unique musical style that’s seen audiences world wide drift off into the early morning, often drenched with sweat and always covered in smiles.
Sometimes referred to as “Queensland blooze with a twist” you’ll soon appreciate what all the fuss is about.
It’s raw, raucous and relevant.
