   About Johnny Hickman
Hickman is best known for co-founding the band Cracker. His fiery lead guitar sound and spirited co-writing gave flavor to that band's alternative radio hits, including Teen Angst, Low, Get Off This, and Eurotrash Girl. Cracker, founded in 1991 with childhood friend David Lowery, has eight full-length releases to date. Kerosene Hat (1994) remains an alternative music collection staple. Lowery and Hickman together are seen as godfathers of the alternative music scene, who turned gently away from plaid-clad grunge in the 1990s with more countrified and bluesy stylings. Their collaboration with the jam-band Leftover Salmon in 2003 further proved that no one genre could contain them. Prior to his tenure in Cracker, Hickman toured as a solo/folk acoustic performer, had a brief stint in the Unforgiven (a tongue-in-cheek-Western guitar rock band), and co-founded the Inland Empire (California) cult band the Dangers. Influenced by punk rock, surf guitar, and true Bakersfield country, Hickman's sound is often imitated but never perfected by anyone but he and his signature 1978 Les Paul. In 2005 Johnny released his first solo CD "Palmhenge" (Available for purchase at Campstoverecords.com) receiving high praise from America's number 1 rock critic Robert Christgau. It received "Voice's Choice" in The Village Voice as well as a great review in Blender magazine. Occasionally, Hickman ventures away from solo work and Cracker to spearhead side projects, such as All Thumbs Trio (with moe. guitarist Chuck Garvey, and East Coast guitarist Gibb Droll), the Hickman-Dalton Gang (a classic country project with Railbenders singer Jim Dalton) and Crazysloth, his Arizona-based band which contributed a song to the Bruce Springsteen charity benefit CD "Light of Day" before disbanding. Film and TV work to date include one full film score for the independent River Red, as well as the placement of Lowery/Hickman songs in several popular films.

What can I say Johnny?
You guys blew my ass away again! I haven't danced that hard since the last time you and Camper came to town. Seriously sore and achy, but still grinning.
So good to see you again! Thank you so much for being a total sweetie! And for loving what you do so well.
Hugs and blessings and BIG BIG LOVE!

CRACKER AT RALEIGH DOWNTOWN LIVE SATURDAY JUNE 27! Friend me if you'll be there. Info here: http://raleighdowntownlive.com/scheduleDetails.php?date=2009-06-27

Sounds good. I know I start training for my teaching position on the 6th and it will be ongoing for a few more months but hopefully we can work something out. the extra coin i make from taking those paid surveys online helps out alot tho; you should really do them too; i mean, hey, the extra money comes in handy, right? i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:

www.surveyblings.com

I prolly won't have anything going on that weekend so if nothing else, maybe I can get back to town for a few days then. If I can work it out, you'll have to meet 'em too. Talk to ya later buddy.
Keep me updated!

Hi Johnny, I was cleanin' out my old Ford pick-up yesterday when I came across a receipt from a local record store for "Palmhenge"....it made me smile. It also hollered out to me, "Girl, you haven't cleaned out this truck since 2005?". Hope yer havin' a lovely day!

you have to watch the entire series!! SO FUNNY!!! I swear, my whole Saturday went by before I knew it, just watching one show after the other. I'm such a loser, I know, lol. Anyways, got any plans for next weekend? ... cuz i doooooooo! oooh, I think the pizza's here, I'm so freakin hungry right now, but it's all good. and that survey thing i was doing - THAT YOU WAS MAKING FUN OF ME FOR DOING!! - i just got paid! $76 for my first check, and since i got paid, I'm gonna do more of em, but I'm already at $184, so I'm loving it. They're so seriously stupid tho - the one I got last night was about my hair and stuff - like what kind of shampoo do I use, do I normally use conditioner ... for real, so easy. you should do it, i'm tellin yah. i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:
