Hicks took a special interest when he heard of the threat that looms over the Comstock Historic District from open pit mining. In June, via Jeff Cotton, Dan suggested a concert at Piper's Opera House to help benefit and create awareness, of the Comstock's plight. This "Landmark Performance" is his contribution to the cause.
A meet and greet will be held at the Red Dog Saloon following the concert, but limited to 100 guests. Please see www.comstockresidents.org for more details. For more on Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks see www.danhicks.net.
The Piper's show is being sponsored by Comstock Residents Association, with the help of Open Sky Radio; KLAP-FM, 89.5.
