ON FRIDAY night, a Reading venue is to host a special acoustic experience.
Dick Valentine is an American music icon and Club Velocity is welcoming him to the intimate surroundings of the Rising Sun Arts Centre.
Organiser Sid Siddle said: “Come one, come all to the intimate and festive occasion that is the Dick Valentine solo acoustic experience! Experience a seven-or-eight-times-in-a-lifetime chance to be up close and personal with an American music icon.
“It’s a low pressure, good time affair as the Electric Six frontman strips down all your favorite songs from the Electric Six catalog, plays original solo material and swims in a sea of requested good-time covers.”
Dick will be showcasing work from his latest album, Robocalls.
His fourth solo release, it is expected to be his magnum opus.
They say: “Imagine Mac DeMarco being spliced with Gordon Lightfoot… and you’ve got two Canadians being fused into one. In the background during the splicing procedure, you might hear a trace of “Robocalls” emanating from the anesthesiologist’s iPod.”
The American troubadour will perform at the Silver Street arts venue from 8pm on Friday, May 31. Tickets cost £10 in advance from www.wegottickets.com
