Summer Concert Series - 2005
Carson City, Nev., (March 2, 2006) – Each summer Adele’s hosts the Carson City Summer Concert Series outside and under the stars. In 2004, multi-instrumentalist David Lindley played a rare solo acoustic performance, marking the first Northern Nevada performance in over two years for the eclectic and colorful rocker, who has played sideman to the likes of Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, Linda Ronstadt, Crosby and Nash, Warren Zevon, and most notably, Jackson Browne (think guitar solo on “Runnin’ on Empty”).

Last summer’s series included Men at Work’s Colin Hay, who secured a place in pop music history with a series of melodically infectious, invigorating singles marked by his instantly recognizable voice and perceptive, witty lyrics. Kicking off the series, Hay performed new works and selected Men at Work hits. Greg Brown brought his recognizable style of bluesy-folk infused with hillbilly and bluegrass to a sold out crowd and Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks closed out the series with a bang, delighting longtime fans as well as new ones with his unique blend of swing, jazz, folk and country.

The Summer Concert Series is produced by Captain LittleTrip in conjunction with the Brewery Arts Center and continuing support from Carson City Redevelopment Authority. The intimate and beautiful outdoor atmosphere at Adele's contains only 20 rows, so even the last row in the house promises an exceptional view. With a true festival atmosphere, the venue houses a fully stocked, premium liquor bar, a wine bar and even a beer garden. Check back soon to see what the 2006 summer concert series has in store!

Since Men at Work broke up following the 1985 album “Two Hearts,” Hay has released a series of solo albums, reunited his old band with astonishing success and watched as his songs continue to connect with new fans the world over.

Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks - September 21, 2005

Dan Hicks closed out the summer concert series at Adele’s Restaurant & Lounge with his unique, jazz-inspired phrasing, his inimitable voice, and a versatile, stellar band – the Hot Licks. Forty years ago, Dan Hicks and the San Francisco folk-rock group he drummed for, The Charlatans, got their first paying gig as the house band for the new Red Dog Saloon in Virginia City, Nev. Eventually, Hicks put together the acoustic combo billed as Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks, producing three critically acclaimed albums. In 1973, Hicks began his solo career, recording numerous commercial, television, and film scores, and touring both as a solo act and as part of the combo, The Acoustic Warriors. Now forty years since his beginnings in the music industry, Hicks tours worldwide with an updated version of the Hot Licks, and playing various jazz venues as a vocalist. He is credited for influencing generations of musicians, and he continues to delight longtime fans as well as attract new ones with his unique blend of swing, jazz, folk and country into a mix he calls "Folk Jazz." In Dan Hicks newest album, he collaborated with Jimmy Buffett and Willie Nelson. Rickie Lee Jones calls him "an inspiration and an influence," and Tom Waits says, "Dan Hicks is fly, sly, wily and dry!" His irresistible rhythms, hip lyrics, laid-back vocals, infamously dry sense of humor, and impeccable taste in fashion will make audiences fans for life.
