Dennis Driscoll

Go Ilwaco!!! The home from which this minstrel began to wander. His closing set at the very first heck fest is regarded by many “heckies” as their generation’s equivalent of Hendrix at Monterey.

“Upon seeing this boyish looking man, normally clad in brown slacks but sometimes wearing an elaborate costume, perform most people’s reaction or at least their first question is “Is this dude for real?” It’s a fair question. Dennis Driscoll performances are fairly dizzying. Dennis plays the most naive pop songs I have ever encountered. His sweet, somewhat childish voice which can at times be more than a tad unsteady singing lyrics that seem to be composed by an 8 year old. The shows are also filled with very awkward banter or lack of banter. Somehow everything I describe adds up to incredibly enjoyable and heartwarming shows.”—from www.urbanhonking.com by Steve
