Bio
Dylan "Sticks" Hicks is originally from right outside of Chicago, Illinois. He started studying drums in Jr. High School, and began private lessons with Don Skoog. He played in his school bands, as well as attending Jazz jam sessions all around the Chicago-land area. Then he attended The Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, and would go on to tour twice with their International Jazz Band in two, one month tours. He then went on to join the Midwest Young Artists jazz program, an intensive jazz performance program masterminded by the great Chicago guitar player/composer, Frank Portolese. Another tour of Scotland took place with this group. Sticks then auditioned for several music schools gaining acceptance, and scolarships to schools such as Berkelee College of Music, and Manhattan School of Music. Finally he decided to take a full scholarship to the University of New Orleans. Their he studied with great drummers such as Johnny Vidacovich, Ricky Sebastian, and Jason Marsalis(not to mention other great teachers Ellis Marsalis,Ed Peterson, Steve Masakowski, and Harold Battiste). He quickly dived into the New Orleans music scene and play all around the gulf coast with artists: Ellis Marsalis, Jason Marsalis (in his vibes group), Ed Peterson, Steve Masakowski, James Singleton, Ravi Coltrane, David Glasser, Tony Degradi, Harold Battiste and the Next Generation, Bill Huntington, Tim Green, Members of Los Hombres Calientes, Dave Easely, Irvin Mayfield, Karl Denson, Victor Goines, Kirk Joseph(Dirty Dozen Brass Band), Leah Chase, Alvin Battiste, Marlon Jordan, Stephanie Jordan, and many many more great musicians. He finished school in four years graduating as the Gregory Frederico Senior of the year for the Jazz Studies/Performance program. He continued playing around "the big easy" for the next year until he decided to test the waters of his home town's music scene, in Chicago. He's played all around Chicago with great musicians, and bands including Frank Portolese, Orquesta Ranura, The Goran Ivanovich Group, Chinchilla Fury, The Mitch Corso Band, Impulse, Wonka, and has "sat in" with many more. After Hurricane Katrina Dylan felt a need to give back to the city and people of New Orleans, and landed a job in the prostigeous Louis Armstrong Quintet. As well as performing around New Orleans, this group focuses on teaching young people of New Orleans' public schools about Jazz. It is an outreach program from the University of New Orleans that also is part of a master's degree in Jazz Studies/Performance. He is currently in a couple of other groups in New Orleans, but as he says, "I'm allways hungry for more". -

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT SPEAKING OUT ...
"First they came for the COMMUNISTS, and
I did not SPEAK OUT -- because I was NOT A COMMUNIST;
Then they came for the SOCIALISTS, and
I did not SPEAK OUT - because I was NOT A SOCIALIST;
Then they came for the TRADE UNIONISTS, and
I did not SPEAK OUT - because I was NOT A TRADE UNIONIST
Then they came for the JEWS, and
I did not SPEAK OUT - because I was NOT A JEW;
Then they CAME FOR ME - and
there was NO ONE LEFT TO SPEAK OUT FOR ME."
~ Pastor Martin Niemoller - A prisoner at the Dachau
Concentration Camp
STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT! DON'T EVER LET
THE VOICE OF FREEDOM BE SILENCED!

Sending SATURDAY LOVE Dylan!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE SOUL ...
"TRUE INTIMACY is the opening of ONE SOUL to
another. No GIFT ON EARTH could COMPARE with it,
for it TOUCHES US MORE PROFOUNDLY than our
imagination can envision. When two people SHARE
THEIR LIVES, FREELY, OPENLY, WITHOUT
RESERVATION, it is as if EACH had BECOME
COMPLETE ..."

Make Things That Matter your PRIORITY Dylan!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT PRIORITIES ...
"PRIORITIES - what's REALLY IMPORTANT -
HEALTH, and doing what one WANTS TO DO -
it's certainly not MONEY.
RE-CONSIDER your PRIORITIES
CHART your COURSE.
SET SAIL with COURAGE."
~ Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange
for it. Establish your PRIORITIES and GO TO WORK!
