The Country Soul Sessions would like to invite you to a special evening with roots and guitar guru legend Deke Dickerson ♩♫ ♩ ♪ ♬ ♪

We are delighted to welcome singer/songwriter, guitar player (historical guitar guru), author, award winner and general man about town Deke Dickerson to the Country Soul Sessions. Deke has been at the forefront of roots music for many a year not only releasing numerous musical offerings but being flag bearer for what Mr Dickerson refers to as "the great music of the American twentieth-century” which includes genres such as rock and roll, rockabilly, western swing, rhythm and blues, surf music, garage, punk etc. Deke is also a respected author with his latest book Sixteen Tons: The Merle Travis Story (BMG Books) the first-ever full-length biography devoted to Country Music Hall of Fame member Merle Travis. He has also written two books as guitar geek, The Strat in the Attic and The Strat in the Attic 2 (Voyageur Press). As well as being a roots performer Deke is also a well-known and highly regarded historian of roots music, having contributed liner notes to reissue projects for such labels as Capitol, RCA, Bear Family, and Sundazed. For this Session Deke will be playing 2 sets one solo and one with a crack band featuring CSS fav Phil Morgan on pedal steel, Kev Magee on bass, Justin Wilman on fiddle and legend Brian Nevill on drums. Join us for what is going to be a wonderful and intimate night in Soho, W1 as Deke Dickerson weaves his songs and stories from his ongoing musical journey….
