Happy Holidays from Zack Hickman (and, uh, Nessie The Sousaphone)

Fans of The Royal City Band know can't help but know - and love - Zack Hickman.  Or his mustache.  But have you met Nessie?

On a new, fun site called Fiverr - "The things people do for $5" - RCB bassist Zack Hickman can be found offering some holiday joy to anyone with the 500 cents. 

To explain what you can get, we'll let Dr. Zachariah do so in his own words: "I am a professional musician. I am not, however, a professional sousaphone player, and I am not amazing at it.  BUT - I have a totally kickass Loch Ness Monster sousaphone. And a pretty rad mustache. And I will - for $5 - record a video of one verse of your Xmas carol of choice, and include a personal message. It may not be a virtuoso performance, but it will be pretty good, and probably the only dragon sousaphone serenade of the season."  (click here)

Happy Holidays, folks.  ;-)

Best,
Doug & The Josh Ritter Team
