Bon Ton Key Club

Bon Ton Key Club is the music project of Rich Dickson. Working on some new material that should be out soon....The history of Bon Ton Key Club goes back to my childhood in my hometown in Oregon, where I used to ride my bike down to the local restaurant called the Bon Ton. I always thought it had a weird vibe to it that stuck in your head, and although the restaurant sold sandwiches and coffee, it had a bar with live music. Later in my years, I actually used to go there and jam with the local bands.

I have played and gigged in many genres of music around the western states, starting with playing rock, country and jazz. and later rock and new wave. I performed in countless Holiday inns, Sheraton showrooms, various rock bars around Portland , Eugene, and Salem, the University of Oregon, Oregon State, Western Oregon University, Portland State, and many others. Bands included Small Wonder, The Control Boys, and Backlash. These days, I spend most of my time teaching students to play a number of instruments, and write most of my material at home. Occasionally, I am out and about playing in Portland or Salem. Hope to see you around....we can hang out and talk about music! Thanks for your ears and support.
