The Hard Lickers
Fun time, good music
for your party or bar
|
About The Hard Lickers The Hard Lickers represent a vast array of talent and personel from many types and styles of bands. In bars, festivals, parties, and picnics…whatever and wherever you need visual as well as musical entertainment. Started 2003 by Matt Shelly as a means of playing his own Allentown, PA bars, they gained a reputation for playing anytime, anywhere, no matter how dangerous the venue, with a no-holds-barred attitude. They quickly “moved up” to social clubs, fire halls, and bigger venues in the surrounding areas. Rock with some Stones, Beatles, ZZ Top, Hendrix, and The Doors, The Black Keys, Jonny Lang and Weezer. Or dance to R&B, reggae, James Brown, The Temps. The classic country of Johnny Cash. Got Dead? There’s even dinner and coctail hour with smooth jazz instrumentals by Miles, Coltrane, or at least some swanky SRV. They can meet any situation at a moments notice. And they do it with GUTS, SINCEREITY and SOUL. They’re not trying to “sound like the record.” You’ll see it doesn’t matter what they play, it’s HOW they play it. The bottom line: ENTERTAINMENT!
