He is critically acclaimed for his work with Heart. Flicker"s career began at age sixteen in Los Angeles when his band, The Zoo, was given a contract in 1968 by Bell Records (which later became Arista Records). They were one of the youngest groups ever signed to a major label at that time.
The Zoo included Flicker on drums along with Howard Leese on guitar and keyboards.
