The Shameful Hussies are a six-piece band of rebel rousers serving up outlaw country with a rockabilly edge—and a whole lot of sass. Fronted by Métis and Blackfoot nationale, this powerhouse group of multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriters blends gritty storytelling with high-energy performances. Their sound pays homage to the traditions of their outlaw and rockabilly heroes, spinning tales of heartbreak, revenge, love, loss, and liquor-soaked nights. From tender country duets to fierce, femme-fueled vocals and lush harmonies, every member brings bold solos and undeniable stage presence.
Their influences span icons like Miranda Lambert, Johnny Cash, The Pistol Annies, Loretta Lynn, Brandy Clark, Corb Lund, and The Judds, with a little Carlene Carter and Hillbilly Moon Explosion thrown in for good measure—not to mention a nod to fiddle-fueled legends like Charlie Daniels.
The Shameful Hussies have lit up stages across Alberta, including festival appearances at Waynestock (Wayne, 2022) and Lie Low in Milo (2024), and have played alongside local favorites like The Lovebullies, The Confusionaires, Tom Phillips and the DTs, Hurricane Felix and the Manik Men, The Promised, Syndicate of Soul, Virago, and Memphis Mafia.
