Formerly of notorious garage surf punk outfit the Untamed Youth, Deke Dickerson is considered quite a legendary figure on the rockabilly scene. Mixing together old time country, rock and roll, doo-wop and rhythm and blues, Dickerson’s live show is a full history of American roots music. He is held in such esteem that the Reverend Horton Heat himself has called Dickerson “the best rockabilly guitar player in the whole world.” When not touring over 200 dates a year, Dickerson has contributed lead vocals to instrumental surf band Los Straitjackets as well as collaborating with those as diverse as punk icon Billy Zoom (of X and the Calvanes). A longtime favorite at Mohawk Place, Deke Dickerson performs there on Wednesday (Sept. 5th) at 8pm. Opening are Pete Worden and the Lower Town Trio.
