Dickie w/ Joel Sires @ Alluvial

Two of the best songwriters around, Dickie and Joel Sires are back at Alluvial for a soul-stirring night of music!

Fri 9/25 7pm - $10/$13 all ages

Dick Prall a/k/a Dickie, is a master of what a recent interviewer called “self-deprecating indie rock.” For almost a decade, the Iowa artist has been best known as Dickie, the loving nickname his late mother bestowed on him before she passed away in 2013. Dickie’s newest release, the Headful of Hiss EP, is a gleaming testament to his ever-strengthening gifts as a songwriter, spanning lush folk, irresistibly catchy pop, yearning alternative, windswept heartland rock, and the timeless sensibility of ’60s classics. Produced in Des Moines by Bryan Vanderpool of illustrious folk-pop duo The Well Pennies, the record comprises five exquisitely well-wrought songs that cloak ruminations on anxiety, substance abuse, and depression in majestic, sweetly tuneful beauty.

From the very start of his musical journey Joel Sires has been a song chaser. Sires’ work has run the gamut from psych pop to glam rock, and power pop to singer songwriter folk. His latest work features hushed tones and acoustic guitars, breaking new ground by bringing the volume down and pushing the song and lyrics to the forefront.

Joel has grown into a proficient songwriter, guitarist, producer, and performer. He is even known to throw in a little harmonica here and there.

He lives in the country with his wife, two dogs, and two chickens.

Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Kris Kristofferson, John Prine, Brother Trucker, Steve Earle, WILCO, Big Star
