Deke Dickerson and The Ecco-Fonics: Boston Show! (Midway Cafe 8/25/2010)

DON'T MISS THIS ONE! Come on down to the Midway on 8/25 for a fantastic night of entertainment with Deke Dickerson and the Ecco-Fonics, along with Easy Ed's Record Hop. Deke hasn't played in Boston in several years and who knows when he'll be back this way again. Grab your chance to see the king of the double-neck guitar in action.

Deke will perform three sets, the first starting at 10:00. I'll be spinning beforehand, and we'll have an informal (fun!) dance class starting at 8:00 with Miss Ariane and Miss Beck. So come early and cut a rug (or just drink 'n' natter 'til Deke hits the stage).

See ya there!
