Cort & Kia

Cort’s wife Kia, along with her trusty standup bass Althea, brings a subtle but powerful dynamic to Cort’s sound. With impeccable timing and feel, she lays down the simplest bass lines, always putting Cort’s guitar playing front and center. Check out their CD release, Live in Dungeness, recorded live in front of an audience at Dungeness Community Studio.

Based in the Puget Sound area of Washington state, the Hucksters bring a slightly psychedelic twist to their American Roots songbag.  A blues band at its core, the Hucksters weave together bluegrass, country, folk, rock and country blues into a tapestry of music they call Mountain Blues. Visit the band’s web page for more information.
