by Marian Hubler, February 23, 2005

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.
