Hana and Jessie-Lee are no strangers to the stage, having performed at major events like WOMADelaide, Out On The Weekend, Dashville Skyline, Queenscliff Music Festival, and the Gympie Muster.
Their live shows have become legendary, drawing on the powerful blend of Hana’s searing, soulful vocals and Jessie-Lee’s signature twangy guitar solos. Together with their rock-solid rhythm section—Kate Alexander on bass and Patrick Wilson on drums—they’ve crafted a sound that’s as magnetic as it is addictive.
The pair’s highly anticipated second album, ‘Say What You Mean’, has already made waves, winning Best Country Work at the 2024 Music Victoria Awards. The album delves into raw, personal themes, from the complexities of relationships to sleepless nights and homesickness. Jessie-Lee’s unmistakable guitar lines, shimmering with reverb, weave perfectly with Hana’s brassy vocals, which strike just the right balance of ache, blues, and crackle.
Simply put, Hana & Jessie-Lee’s Bad Habits are an unstoppable force in the alt-country scene, and their upcoming shows are not to be missed.
Be sure to catch them at one of these intimate venues—prepare to get hooked and hear some of the most memorable tunes in Australian alt-country. Get in front of that stage, because this is one gig that promises to leave you wanting more.
