High-energy duo Hat Fitz and Cara are one of Australia’s most enduring, popular and talented roots artists. The husband and wife team have clocked up 10 years of touring, festivals and album releases from their base of operations in hinterland Sunshine Coast, QLD and show no signs of slowing down.
Their worldwide festival touring circuit takes in Australia, the UK, North America, and Europe and their blend of old-timey influences sees them equally at home on Folk, Americana, Blues and acoustic stages.
Fitzy and Cara are thrilled to announce the imminent release of their much-anticipated 5th studio album ‘Hand It Over’, featuring lead track ‘Hold On’, and they’re headed out on an extensive tour this Summer to get everyone’s blood flowing.
Says Cara of the making of the new album, “Our intent on this album was to share as honestly as we can with our music what we do live, the high energy moments that bring us together in life and the sensitive lows that we sometimes hold to ourselves. Hopefully capturing what feels good to us musically will feel good to the people listening, whether it’s the first time they’ve heard us or if they’ve been fans for years.”
‘Hand It Over’ is just having some finishing touches added courtesy of award-winning producer Govinda Doyle (Angus and Julia Stone) and will be available on store and online from mid-January, in the meantime, get your ears around gospel-inspired vocal tour-de-force ‘Hold On’, which has been knocking audiences over at the recent band’s live shows.
‘Hold On’ is available from all good music outlets from December 11, with full album to follow in Mid-January 2019.
