Hicks with Sticks is the site for roots Americana, alt-country and rockabilly in the San Francisco Bay Area.  Hicks with Sticks began as a radio show in October 1999.  An e-newsletter told listeners about future guests, new CDs, news and events, and soon the newsletter had a larger audience than the radio show.  The newsletter, which still appears on the Home page, developed into this site.  Sending "subscribe"   to have the news and calendar delivered to you.  As always, "No ads, no spam and never a cover charge."

José Segue (pictured above) writes the Hicks with Sticks News, produces events, and has been heard on KALW, KPFA, KKUP, KSCU, KFJC, KCRB and a dozen of so stations now history.  He is the Director of the CalAmericana Association, and produced A Town North of Bakersfield, tracks from 25 of the S.F. Bay Area  twangin' best.   Contact with news items, booking events or roots-related connections.
