Deke Dickerson is one of America’s musical treasures. As an entertainer and musician, he has toured the world and established himself as one of the foremost purveyors of roots music, headlining festivals from Las Vegas to Finland.  As a writer and music historian, he is well known for his regular column in Guitar Player magazine. He recently authored two enormous essay projects for Bear Family’s Merle Haggard box sets. The one for Concepts, Live & The Strangers won an Award for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research from the Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) in 2009. As an entrepreneur, Deke has partnered with Hallmark Guitars to produce the Deke Dickerson model guitar, whose design is as unique as its namesake.  As a behind-the-scenes mover and shaker, Deke has recorded songs that have been featured in a variety of movies, TV shows, and radio programs, from the Oscar-winning movie Sideways to Johnny Knoxville’s documentary The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia to the hugely popular XM Sirius satellite radio show Theme Time Radio Hour with Bob Dylan. For this last, Deke not only contributed background guitar music but was also interviewed and quoted by Bob Dylan.
