    Dan Hicks’ Caucasian Hip-Hop for Hicksters Published February 19, 2015 | Copyright @2015 Straight Ahead Media

    Dan Hicks’ Caucasian Hip-Hop For Hicksters Published February 19, 2015 | Copyright @2015 Straight Ahead Media Author: Steve Roby Showdate : Feb. 18, 2015 Performance Venue : Yoshi’s Oakland Bay Area legend Dan Hicks performed to a sold-out crowd at Yoshi’s on Wednesday. The audience was made up of his loyal fans (Hicksters) who probably first heard his music on KSAN, Jive 95, back in 1969. At age 11, Hicks started out as a drummer, and was heavily influenced by jazz and Dixieland music, often playing dances at the VFW. During the folk revival of the ‘60s, he picked up a guitar, and would go to hootenannies while attending San Francisco State. Hicks began writing songs, an eclectic mix of Western swing, folk, jazz, and blues, and eventually formed Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks. His offbeat humor filtered its way into his stage act. Today, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, Hicks sums up his special genre as “Caucasian hip-hop.” Over four decades later, Hicks still delivers a unique performance, and Wednesday’s show was jammed with many great moments. One of the evenings highlights was the classic “I Scare Myself,” which Hicks is still unclear if it’s a love song when he wrote it back in 1969. “I was either in love, or I’d just eaten a big hashish brownie,” recalled Hicks. Adding to the song’s paranoia theme, back-up singers Daria and Roberta Donnay dawned dark shades while Benito Cortez played a chilling violin solo complete with creepy horror movie sound effects.

This year’s version of North America’s premier touring guitar festival features guitarists from South America, Italy, England, and the United States. American “guitar poet” Brian Gore’s playing contains a “bounce and spaciousness all his own” (Los Angeles Times). He created International Guitar Night in 1995 and has released multiple albums and books on fingerstyle guitar. Italian steel-string guitarist Pino Forastiere fuses the classical, contemporary, and rock genres as he “employs a dazzling blend of slapping, tapping, strumming, altered tunings, and harmonics, combined with classical phrasing and a focus on distinct and addictive melodies” (Guitar Player). English fingerstyle guitarist Mike Dawes has developed a multifaceted repertoire of sound in his short but successful career, fusing Celtic, rock, jazz, and experimental music to create a product all his own. He has gained praise from artists like Gotye, Frank Turner, and Justin Hayward.

Guess what? We have just celebrated our 18th anniversary. Those who try things we recommend are rewarded. We have stayed in business for one reason and that is we have never attempted to appeal to the lowest common denominator as mainstream outlets do. At the same time we recognise that people do have different tastes and to some CMT is actually good. We also appeal to those people and offer many mainstream items in our bargain bin. But the legends and true country music are our bread butter and will always be. If you see something you think you may like but are worried let us know. If you pass our inquisition we may be able to send it on a sale or return basis. I say inquisition because if your favourite artists are SheDaisy and Rascal Flatts we certainly aren’t going to risk something as precious as Justin Trevino. By the same token we believe great music is timeless and knows no bounds. People may think chuck steak is good until they try the best rump! Recently I had the pleasure of seeing Dale Watson. Before hand I had the added pleasure of sitting in with my compatriot Eddie White (a.k.a. “The Cosmic Cowboy”) for an interview at the 2RRR Studios. Dale is a humble, engaging and extremely likeable man with a passion for tradition.

    HOT CLUB of COWTOWN to PERFORM at LONE TREE ARTS CENTER Western Swing & Gypsy Jazz Trio

    10075 Commons Street • Lone Tree, Colorado 80124 • www.lonetreeartscenter.org LTAC Contact: Katie Maltais, Marketing Director FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Phone: 720-509-1007 January 6, 2014 Mobile: 515-321-6016 Fax: 720-509-1101 Email: [email protected] HOT CLUB OF COWTOWN TO PERFORM AT LONE TREE ARTS CENTER Western Swing & Gypsy Jazz Trio LONE TREE, CO – The Lone Tree Arts Center (LTAC) will heat up a cold January night with a sizzling evening of swinging jazz music and western swing when Denver favorites Hot Club of Cowtown perform on Friday, January 31 at 8pm. The acclaimed trio, specializing in a joyful fusion of traditional western music and mid-century gypsy jazz, make a signature sound all their own. Colorado is a regular stop for Hot Club of Cowtown; they play frequently at venues such as Swallow Hill Music. Since their first recording in 1998, Austin-based Hot Club of Cowtown has grown to be the most globe-trotting, hardest-swinging Western swing trio on the planet. The first American band to tour Azerbaijan, they have opened stadiums for such artists as Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson and continue to bring their brand of western swing to a wide range of festival audiences all over the world. But for guitarist Whit Smith, fiddler Elana James and bassist Jake Erwin, it has always been about staying true to their roots. Remaining willfully out of the musical mainstream, Hot Club of Cowtown has created an international cult following for their sonic personification of joy and unique sound inspired by their namesakes: “Hot Club” from the hot jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli’s Hot Club of France, and “Cowtown” from the Western swing influence of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys.
