Dan Hicks "Kollege of Musical Knowledge" March 12, 2011

World Premiere
Dan Hicks "Kollege of Musical Knowledge"
Celebrating legendary American songwriters

Saturday March 12
The Palm Ballroom
100 Yacht Club Dr. San Rafael

Dan and his band will be joined for this very special evening by singer/songwriter of great Americana music, Ray Bonneville.
This is a rare opportunity to see a new Dan Hicks creation.

Dan Hicks will premier his new musical revue Kollege of Musical Knowledge for one night only at the Palm Ballroom in San Rafael.

This show is the latest in a series of Dan Hicks-created musical productions that have paid homage to the Singing Cowboys, saluted the Folk Years and honored Swing Noir. Dan now pays tribute to the composers and artists he most admires including Duke Ellington, Chuck Berry, Bob Dylan, Richard Rogers, Paul Simon and, of course, himself!

“Professor” Hicks will illuminate eager pupils to some music history as well as a variety of musical styles backed by with his School's Out Orchestra and the Whiz Kids Singers.

And, don’t be surprised if Dan’s very own Lickettes drop by as well as some other special guests to join him on some of those signature Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks tunes.

Dan Hicks unique songwriting and blend of styles, masterful folk-swing guitar playing, and unmistakable sense of humor have made him a cultural icon, landing Hicks on the cover of Rolling Stone twice and provoking Tom Waits to say, ‘Dan Hicks is fly, sly, wily and dry’ while Elvis Costello proclaimed him ‘an American treasure.’” (This is publicist’s bio copy)

Said the (find out from Larry where he found this quote)…..“Dan Hicks has plowed deep furrows through some of the most fertile pop music territory known to man, and during it all has maintained both his own distinct, light yet emphatic touch and a pace that's always kept him more than a few steps ahead of his colleagues.” LA Weekly

Special guest Ray Bonneville whose own music is "like gunpowder and opium" will open the show and join Dan and the Kollege of Musical Knowledge onstage during the evening.

Folk Roots Magazine calls Ray “…a potent blues cocktail.”
