CHATHAM COUNTY LINE 
Saturday September 6 @ 8PM
 
It would be only natural to surmise that this North Carolina combo called Chatham County Line has returned to its roots, given the fact that it's reunited with former producer Chris Stamey and that its aptly named fourth album recaptures the essence of its original back-porch motif. This is, after all, a band that's always been drawn to the basics, one whose standard setup of guitar, fiddle, bass, banjo, and mandolin parlays a rural regimen, albeit with an insurgent intent. The only hitch in that assumption is the reality that... well... this isn't the bluegrass barnstormer the foregoing description might otherwise imply. Although songs like "Chip of a Star," "Birmingham Jail," and "Thanks" convey rustic, homespun designs, the emphasis on world-weary reflection and elegiac sentiment finds the music resonating with a more cerebral stance. Even the more up-tempo tunes - "I Got Worry" and "Whipping Boy" in particular - say as much about attitude as they do
 about aptitude. The band may stake a claim to a down-home sound, but it also knows how to up the ante with edge and intensity. Consequently, even those listeners who have no particular affinity for any sort of bluegrass ballyhoo will find themselves drawn to this spunky ensemble's approach. At this stage in its career, Chatham County Line is well worth watching.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DAN HICKS AND THE HOT LICKS COME TO THE KENT STAGE IN KENT OH TO PREVIEW NEW SONGS FROM THEIR UPCOMING STUDIO CD WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 10 AT 8PM
 
The Kent Stage in Kent OH, on Wednesday September 10th, will present Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks, one of the most compelling and truly original voices in American music today, in a very special evening premiering new songs from their upcoming Winter '09 release.

"Songwriting and song-gathering can be a life-long process" says Dan, who with his Hot Licks will be presenting an evening of their original folk-swing as well as a rare "sneak-peak" of brand new Dan Hicks songs to be featured on their upcoming tenth studio cd. "The well is not dry" says Dan, who claims to have found three new rhymes for the word "orange!"

  Being produced by Grammy-winner Chris Goldsmith (Blind Boys of Alabama) the new cd will be
  released world-wide in early '09 by Dan's long-time label Surfdog Records.

DAN HICKS AND THE HOT LICKS

Beginning as a drummer in the seminal 60's San Francisco rock band The Charlatans, and continuing with the unique and legendary Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks, Dan Hicks is widely acknowledged as one of the central defining figures in American roots music. Hicks has earned a reputation as a true original with his signature electicism and humor.  He continues to carve his own way through a number of genres from proto-psychedelia to western swing and jazz; from tin pan alley to country blues, while always cultivating his own unique sound. The original Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks recorded five ground-breaking and Billboard-charting records for the Columbia, Blue Thumb and Warner Bros. labels.  They toured worldwide and Dan appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine three times. The newest incarnation of DH & HL released the wildly successful "Beatin' the Heat" in 2000, featuring collaborations with Bette Midler, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, Rickie Lee
 Jones and Brian Setzer. USA Today called it "one of the blessings of the new millenium." That release was followed by the live cd "Alive & Lickin" in 2001, and the late 2003 cd/dvd "Dan Hicks and The Hot Licks Featuring An All Star Cast of Friends" That project reunited Hicks with virtually every musician he has ever played and recorded with. Both Mojo and Downbeat Magazines rated it "Four Stars...one of the best cds of '04." 2005 brought the newest studio release "Selected Shorts" featuring special guests Willie Nelson, Jimmy Buffett, Gibby Haynes, Jim  Keltner and Van Dyke Parks. Widely touted as the band's best cd yet -The New Yorker Magazine remarked "As great as his early masterpiece "Where's the Money?", truly superb."  2008 will bring the release of  Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks tenth studio cd to be produced by Grammy-winner Chris Goldsmith (Blind Boys of Alabama)  featuring  all new Dan Hicks original songs with special guests.  This
 promises to be another classic addition to the truly unique body of work of this great American songwriter. To quote Daily Variety, "Dan HIcks is at the top of his game. . unlike many pop artists today,  a new studio album from Dan Hicks is like a new painting from Picasso. STAY TUNED!"
