Roots Rock Guitar Party

Presented by Crazy Mama’s Concerts and WCBE

Deke Dickerson’s newest band venture is Deke Dickerson and the Whippersnappers. Dickerson is a veteran of the Southern California roots music scene and has toured for years with various bands, including the Dave and Deke Combo and Deke Dickerson and the Ecco-Fonics. His former band members have gone on to play with Social Distortion, X, Tiger Army, and Los Straitjackets.

The Whippersnappers are an energetic backing band of younger musicians from Los Angeles: Bert Avalos on guitar, Zander Griffith on bass, and Dylan Patterson on drums. With Dickerson’s experience entertaining audiences worldwide and the Whippersnappers’ shot in the arm of rockabilly excitement, the band has been thrilling fans all over the United States (playing such festivals as Viva Las Vegas and touring the East and West Coasts) and Europe (at festivals like the Rockabilly Rave in England and the Rockin’ Race Jamboree in Spain).

The band released their debut album, Honky Tonkin’ Rhythm, in 2023 on Major Label Records and have been touring behind it since.

Kyle Eldridge is a Country & Western singer songwriter from Louisville, Kentucky and known as one of the most prominent guitar players in the traditional scene for his Maphis/ Travis picking and Western Jazz styling.

He got his start playing in the south where he met Upright Bassist Dakota Collins who brought him to Nashville, Tennessee. They began playing Honky Tonks on the famous Broadway strip and soon after, he recorded his debut EP in Los Angeles, California at Deke Dickerson’s studio.

He has played next to such artists as Jim Heath of Reverend Horton Heat, Shaun Young of High Noon, Jody & Rose Lee Maphis, The Lucky Stars, Dale Watson, Tommy Emmanuel, and many more.  Dubbed the “Heir Apparent” by Larry Collins of The Collins Kids fame, Kyle Eldridge has been burning his way into the Country & Western scene and has quickly become in demand both domestically and abroad.

Adios Beaches is a surf instrumental collective from Columbus, Ohio. The quartet features Darby Antle on guitar, Kurtis Chaney also on guitar, Wayne Lantz on bass and “Crazy Sticks” Jason Piatt on drums. Performing together since 2020, Adios Beaches has crafted a large library of surfy originals and even some classic covers.
