“I’m a West Virginia white boy,” croons Deke Dickerson in the song of the same name, a classic example of the rockabilly roots music he has been able to craft and perfect since the age of 13. Now also an accomplished studio engineer, producer and owner of Ecco-Fonic Records, Dickerson has successfully parlayed himself into many areas of the music business. However, year after year of being on the road clearly shows that a place on stage is his true calling, and the many ways in which he can swing his sound is a testament to his ability to perform shows with the likes of bands as different as Cake, Mike Ness, and the Reverend Horton Heat. Don’t pass up your own chance to clap, whistle and two-step along when he comes to Third Street Dive. —Kelly Kettering
