Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks: Piper's Opera House

Piper's Opera House
12 North B Street
Virginia City

Saturday, October 22, doors open at 7pm

The Comstock Residents Association will present Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks! The uniquely talented musical maestro was a member of the Charlatans, who pioneered the music of the 1960's in Virginia City on the stage at the Red Dog Saloon. For one night only, on Saturday, October 22 at 7 pm, Dan Hicks will headline a show at the grandest venue on the Comstock Lode, Piper's Opera House.

Dan took a special interest when he heard of the threat from open pit mining that looms over the Comstock Historic District. The fundraising concert will help benefit the Comstock Residents Association and create awareness of the Comstock's plight.

Seating is limited. Tickets are $35 in advance, $40 at the door. Advance tickets are available online at www.comstockresidents.org/hicksville.html. Tickets may be purchased in Reno at Sundance Books and or at Recycled Records, in Carson City at the Bead Store, in Silver City at Doodads, and in Virginia City at the Red Dog Saloon. For an additional $7.50, guests may purchase a ticket for the after-party at the Red Dog Saloon, limited to 100 guests.

This unique musical event will enrich your life, provide a golden memory or two, and help protect the Comstock from open pit mining. Do come!
