Saturday night we went to see Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks ( http://www.danhicks.net/ ) at the Earlville Opera House ( http://www.earlvilleoperahouse.com/ ). The music is a blend Gypsy Jazz, Western Swing, Jazz, Jump, Be-Bop, Folk and Country music to create the a sound he sometimes calls “Folk Jazz”.

Sample Dan Hicks performances can be seen at
