There are few stories as tumultuous, adventurous, and extraordinary as the one that belongs to the troubadour Dick Deluxe. From his first gig in 1973 (subbing for an incapacitated Townes Van Zandt) to playing with New Orleans greats Earl King and Queen Ida, to his many years of score writing with Clubfoot Orchestra virtuoso Richard Marriott, Dick Deluxe has truly earned the status of living legend.
