Bread
& Roses presented a very special show featuring "Dan Hicks & the Hot Licks"
for several hundred residents at Delancey Street Foundation in San Francisco
on Monday, November 1 at 7 pm. He thrilled the crowd by playing a number
of songs from his new CD entitled "Selected Shorts."
Since the early 1960's, singer-songwriter Dan Hicks has deftly blended elements
of swing, jazz, folk and country music. His original music is presented
with his unique arrangements and humorous touch. Dan's irresistible sense
of rhythm, hip lyrical styling, laid-back vocalizing and infamous on-stage
wit make most who listen fans for life and this evening
was no exception.
His
band for the Delancey Street show included: Dan on lead vocal and rhythm
guitar; Linda Groves and Susan Rabin on background vocals; Corky Rodrigues
on string bass; Dave Bell on lead guitar and Richard Chon on violin.
