Wee Brazen Hussies...
Making the word "Hussy" respectable again, one audience at a time!

Quick Reference - Past Gigs by Location  

Origin of the word "Hussy" - 1520-30; earlier word: "hussive", or "huswive", meaning "housewife",
The Wee Brazen Hussies like to use the current 2nd meaning of the word...a saucy or impudent woman!
We're just a Wee bit Brazen! ~ Deb & Barb




We're available for gallery openings, festivals, meetings, parties, concerts,
and other special occasions, as well as our usual coffeehouse gigs.

About Our Music & Our Instruments

We bring our audiences a wide-ranging repertoire of occasionally tender, and frequently saucy renditions of Folk, Celtic & original songs. Think of it as great folk music with an sassy attitude!

We're always looking for great songs that most of the audience probably has not heard before. Many of our selections are well over 100 years old...even if we aren't...("Barb is actually closer to 100 years than I am!" - Deb)

We intersperse these old tunes with more familiar favorites, add some originals, and toss in just a dash of Hussie Humor as we keep folks singing along, laughing, and coming back for more. We truly LOVE our audiences!

Every show is different, and our collection of strange and fascinating instruments (we think they're fascinating; other folks just think they're strange) keeps getting better and better…or at least larger! Oh yes, we play them, too! Try and stop us!!!
