Deke Dickerson & His Ecco-Fonics (named for a brand of tape echo unit made in the 1950s),  Brent Harding & Chris Sugarballs Sprague, are running the musical gamut from rockabilly and hillbilly to surf, jump blues, and instrumental rock.  One of the most respected guitarists on the West Coast roots rock scene, Deke Dickerson melds top-notch chops with an encyclopedic knowledge of vintage country, rockabilly, surf, blues, and garage rock styles, all informed by his trademark sense of humor.” This music isn’t a cartoon to me, or some weird retro thing to be laughed at,” states Dickerson. “This is the great music of the American 20th-century experience: rock and roll, rockabilly, western swing, rhythm and blues, surf music, garage, and punk. It’s every bit as vital and important as jazz or classical; it just hasn’t gotten its due yet.
