Join us for a swingin’ musical evening celebrating the “King of Folk Swing,” Dan Hicks. Featuring The Hot Licks, the final and ultimate rendition of Dan Hicks’ backing band. The Hot Licks perform classic gems written by the Man himself as well as songs that Hicks loved to cover in his own original style. A blend of Gypsy Jazz, Folk and Swing. The Hot Licks toured with Hicks for over 10 years as “Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks”. They are dedicated to preserving the original sound and spirit of the group and continue to carry the banner for folk-swing and gypsy jazz, with Hicks’ particular sound, style and harmonies that have inspired so many others.
