The long-time king of hipster-chic, Dan Hicks, brings his sizzling, utterly unique sound to the SCA! For three decades Hicks has blazed a trail across the Americana horizon, working with and influencing legendary artists including Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Bette Midler, Brain Setzer, Willie Nelson and Jimmy Buffett, among others.
Hicks is truly an American original. Since the early 1960s, Hicks has deftly blended elements of Swing, Jazz, Folk and Country music to create the appealing sound he sometimes calls "Folk Jazz". His counter-culture appeal, which has twice landed him on the cover of Rolling Stone, has always been rooted in his songwriting. His lyrics have been touted as some of the sharpest-tongued, driest-witted, and subtly hilarious bits of irreverence ever committed to rhyme.
Don’t miss this chance to see why Tom Waits says, “Dan Hicks is fly, sly, wily and dry!”and Bette Midler calls Hicks “lighting in a bottle!”
Hick's irresistible sense of rhythm, hip lyrical styling, laid-back vocalizing, and infamous on-stage wit make this a “not to be missed” show!
