Deke Dickerson, award-winning rockabilly ambassador, hosts the show and brings the Rock N Roll with his band that has toured the world and played with Sha Na Na and Chuck Berry. The show is a salute to the musicians forever remembered for their classic early rock songs, and some for the infamous “Day the Music Died” in the winter of 1959. The show stars Deke, Laun Braithwait as Buddy Holly, Javier Trejo as Ritchie Valens and Karl B. Wallin as the Big Bopper. Extra points for dressing up in your 50s best!

Deke Dickerson has devoted his long career to keeping America’s roots music alive while interjecting new creativity into genres of music that flourished in decades previous. Dickerson is 52 years old and has been carrying the torch since he was 13, playing in his first rockabilly band in his hometown of Columbia, Missouri. He moved to Los Angeles at the age of 22 and proceeded to find his primary band, Deke Dickerson and the Ecco-Fonics, his newest group, Deke Dickerson and the Whippersnappers, as well as several side projects.
