It's Hot Jazz Sunday Night! The monthly jazz night continues in 2027 at Hamilton Studio Listening Room with Deke Dickerson and the Rockabilly Space Force!
“Deke Dickerson is the best rockabilly guitarist in the world!” says the Reverend Horton Heat, and plenty of fans and fellow players agree. Missouri-born Deke is a longtime fixture of the Southern California roots scene. He first made his name with the Dave & Deke Combo and then with his own Ecco-Fonics, whose alumni went on to play with Social Distortion, X, Tiger Army, and Los Straitjackets. Deke moves easily between rockabilly, honky-tonk, western swing, surf, and blues. He has traveled the world playing guitar with rockabilly legends Sonny Burgess, Scotty Moore, and Duane Eddy. With his current band, the Whippersnappers, he has played Viva Las Vegas, the Rockabilly Rave in England, and the Rockin’ Race Jamboree in Spain, and the band released Honky Tonkin’ Rhythm in 2023. He was named Musician of the Year at the 2019 Ameripolitan Music Awards.
Deke is also one of roots music’s great historians. He wrote Sixteen Tons: The Merle Travis Story, the first full-length biography of the Country Music Hall of Fame guitarist, along with The Strat in the Attic and The Strat in the Attic 2. He has also written liner notes for reissues on Capitol, RCA, Bear Family, and Sundazed. Most recently, he produced an album for the Messer Chups. For one night only at Hamilton Studio, Deke joins forces with the Rockabilly Space Force.
Doors open at 5:15pm. Dance lesson at 5:30pm. Concert from 6-8pm.
This is an all-ages event, but for those of legal age with ID, a bar with beer and wine is available. Hamilton Studio also has Charcuterie Boxes on offer at every Hot Jazz Sunday Night.
