WYCE, Wealthy Theatre and The Michigan Heritage Music Association welcome Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks to Grand Rapids!
Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks continue to tour the U.S. in support of his new studio album, Tangled Tales (Surfdog Records). The album is a brand-new collection of compelling and witty tunes that show why Tom Waits called him “fly, sly, wily, and dry!”
In vintage Dan Hicks form, Tangled Tales mashes the outlaw swing music, insightful charm, and brilliant melodies that have endeared him to audiences and fellow artists for...

Brought to you by WYCE
Part of the series Hat Trick Concert Series
WYCE and The Law Firm of Rhoades McKee present the 2010 Spring Hat Trick Concert Series!
Peppino D’Agostino is a Renaissance man. This is not just because he was born in Italy. Everything about the longtime California resident and his art -- virtuoso acoustic guitarist, composer, singer, teacher and all-around entertainer -- is rooted in his heritage.
"...D'Agostino plays steel-string guitar with virtuosity and complexity...Influences are as far-flung as the flamenco work of Paco de Lucia and the pop sensibility of the Beatles, evident...

David Bazan wsg The Headlights
Brought to you by WYCE
WYCE and Calvin College present David Bazan in concert!
Coming off of months of performing "living room concerts" across the country, David Bazan is back with his band and performing a lot of new material.
Known for his work fronting the enigmatic rock band Pedro the Lion, David Bazan’s emotionally charged narratives, eye for telling detail, and mournful voice differ with the usual lyrical slant of popular music. Bazan is a gifted storyteller, weaving parables of spiritual conflict, suburban ennui, and personal surrender into...

Hat Trick Show: Deadstring Brothers
Brought to you by WYCE
Part of the series Hat Trick Concert Series
“The band has that ragged blues-meets-country-rock groove down cold, with plenty of slashing guitar work and a rhythm section that could pulverize concrete. They come charging out of the gate with attitude and energy to spare and a relentless mid-tempo thump that never lets up.” —Harp Magazine
This show benefits Carol's Ferals, offering spay and neuter surgeries for trapped ferals at a significantly reduced rate, and funding is in place to help cats in certain areas.

Wheeler is a well-respected songwriter whose songs have been covered by artists as diverse as Dan Seals, Peter Paul and Mary, Kenny Loggins, Garth Brooks, Suzy Boggus and many others. She is known for her popular live shows, which incorporate her natural storytelling with a fantastic sense of humor to make her concerts more like comedy club performances than traditional folk singer/songwriter concerts, and although she has recorded 12 albums, half of the songs...

Hat Trick Show: Hoots and Hellmouth
Brought to you by WYCE
Part of the series Hat Trick Concert Series
WYCE and The Law Firm of Rhoades McKee present the 2010 Spring Hat Trick Concert Series!
Blending the twisted roots of American music in a fierce and fiery alchemy, this ragtag bunch seeks a revival of spirit. Soulful three-part harmonies co-mingle with acoustic guitars, a mandolin, an upright bass and foot stomps building a synergy that bursts from both stage and speaker with aural aplomb. “It's about bleeding, sweating, crying, rejoicing," the band’s Sean Hoots says of their work. “It’s alive!”

Brought to you by WYCE
Part of the series Pepsi Stadium Club Concert Series
WYCE and Fifth Third Ballpark present the Pepsi Stadium Club Concert Series.
Thorn is a Tupelo, Mississippi native who mixes blues, country, gospel, rhythm and blues and rock’n’roll to form the music of the Mississippi heartland, the same music-drenched region that gave us Elvis. The 43-year-old one-time professional boxer who once climbed into the ring for a nationally televised bout against three-time world champion Roberto Duran, Thorn is the son of a Pentecostal preacher who grew up singing in his father’s revivals. He is known as...

Hat Trick Show: Malcolm Holcombe
Brought to you by WYCE
Part of the series Hat Trick Concert Series
WYCE and The Law Firm of Rhoades McKee present the 2010 Spring Hat Trick Concert Series!
On the exterior Malcolm is a chain-smoking, coffee-loving, flannel shirt-wearing man with a five-o’clock shadow and a cutting stare, but the minute he walks on a stage, out comes the performer with his jabbered witticisms and off-beat style. He has the audience eating out of the palm of his hand.
"Not quite country, somewhere beyond folk, Holcombe's music is a kind of blues in motion, mapping backwoods corners of the heart." ~David Fricke, Rolling...

Lucy Kaplansky wsg. Ralston
Brought to you by WYCE
Part of the series Pepsi Stadium Club Concert Series
WYCE and Fifth Third Ballpark present the Pepsi Stadium Club Concert Series.
Lucy started out singing in Chicago bars. Then, barely out of high school, Lucy Kaplansky took off for New York City. There she found a fertile community of songwriters and performers - Suzanne Vega, John Gorka, Bill Morrissey, Cliff Eberhardt, and others - where she fit right in. With a beautiful flair for harmony, Lucy was everyone's favorite singing partner, but most often she found herself singing as a duo with Shawn Colvin. People envisioned big things...
