After a many year gap, guitarist and songwriter Dan Hicks is back in Etown! And of course he's bringing those great back up singers, The Hot Licks. His eclectic style and counter-culture appeal, driven by sharp-tongued and dry-witted lyrics, has twice landed him on the cover of Rolling Stone! Also with us this week is pianist and singer-songwriter Vienna Teng. She's a Stanford computer science grad and software engineer whose career took a sharp turn several years ago, when she ditched that world to pursue her musical passions. She has since released two critically acclaimed independent albums which landed her on the Billboard album charts and Amazon's bestseller list. Her "engaging voice, insightful lyrics and reflective piano-driven chamber folk packs quite the punch...simmers and soars." (LA Weekly).
