Big Metro Detroit Rockabilly Show Alert!

DEKE DICKERSON: Deke Dickerson cuts a huge figure, both literally and figuratively, in the landscape of American roots music. In a world where cartoonlike "retro" and "revival" acts come and go with the seasons, Deke has maintained an entirely different standard of musicianship by continuing to do what he does best, mixing the best American musical styles of the last five decades.


He is regarded as one of the most respected and versatile guitar players around, even prompting Reverend Horton Heat to declare on his web site that Deke is "the best rockabilly guitar player in the whole world!" In the Americana genre he is regarded as a true musicologist, mixing together genres as disparate as old-time country, rock and roll, rhythm and blues, doo-wop, and surf. In rockabilly he is acknowledged as one of the very top acts in the world and regularly headlines festivals from Las Vegas to Finland.


One of the busiest and most in-demand acts in our modern "rockin'" scene, Deke will be once again visiting the Motor City for a special small club show with his all star band, the "Ecco-Fonics" in tow. He'll be performing scintillating selections from his most recent release "Deke Down Under" as well as crowd pleasing favorites from his deep repertoire of rockabilly, roots rock, country, rock n' roll & surf/instrumental music! Get there early for best seats and the best view of this super talented and entertaining Americana artist (*guitar geeks, please bring your own drool bucket)!

CRAZY JOE TRITSCHLER: Crazy Joe Tritschler and his guitar playing prowess have been heralded by magazines such as Guitar Player, Blue Suede News, and Country Standard Time. It takes boldness to declare yourself "The KING" of anything, but Crazy Joe and his band have delivered the goods... creating a new music genre called Nerd-A-Billy. This "it’s cool to be square" music has no boundaries… one moment you get a drivin’ Johnny Horton cover, next a Sam Cooke ballad, followed by a screamin’ surf tune, leading right into a country weeper and mixed in with some smokin’ hot instrumentals. And this only touches the surface of what you’ll find on Crazy Joe’s new CD. The KING of Nerd-A-Billy contains 12 songs that will convince you that you must and should worship Crazy Joe... or at least buy all of his CDs (we think Joe would appreciate the "purchase thing" over the "worship thing," but he is the one who came up with the CD title). Pick up what’s destined to become a Nerd-A-Billy classic.

NORTH OF MEMPHIS: A brand new local act featuring the acclaimed teenage six-string sensation: Carl Bradychok! Carl has enlisted longtime friend Ron DeVore from the Horse Cave Trio to provide vocals & bass while ex-Starlight Drifter/Kentucky Chrome'r Marc Grey handles the drum chores in this all-new traditional rockabilly combo. Channeling the legendary SUN sound and coating it liberally with some Danny Gatton-inspired neo-billy twang, expect some incredibly exciting sounds from this new Motor City Trio. This will be the official debut for North Of Memphis so you can tell your grandchildren that you saw them here first! Get excited folks...!
