Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks present their celebrated musical extravaganza “Holidaze in Hicksville!” tonight at Wood Fire Italian Trattoria, 118 S. Front St.

This much-loved and one of a kind musical evening features an entertaining view of the holiday season told through the group’s original songs and dance, as well as Dan’s signature eclecticism and humor.

Songs will include such “Hicks-ian” gems as, “Somebody Stole My Santa Claus Suit,” “Rudolph the Bald-Headed Reindeer”, and “Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Christmas Card.”

The first time Hicks heard he was to play Dowagiac he almost “peed his pants!”

That energy flew right through the band’s performance.

They left them stomping and cheering for more!This is one great band with decades of experience playing big rooms all over the country.

Wood Fire will be regal with Christmas, the tree at its station — upside down — the lights low, the energy high.

Dinner buffet will be served beginning at 5:30, until about 7.

Hicks goes onstage about 7:30. Call 782-0007 for tickets.
