FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS: DEKE DICKERSON & The Whippersnappers Returns to FITZGERALDS Historic Nightclub w/ Special Guests UNION AVENUE $20 General Admission / Reserved Tables Available  Journeyman musician/singer/entertainer Deke Dickerson is keeping America’s roots music alive by interjecting new creativity into genres that flourished in decades previous. Such efforts have rewarded him with the Ameripolitan Music Award for Musician of the Year, among other accolades. Dickerson’s newest band venture is Deke Dickerson and the Whippersnappers. The Whippersnappers are an energetic backing band of younger musicians from Los Angeles: Bert Avalos on guitar, Zander Griffith on bass, and Dylan Patterson on drums. With Dickerson’s experience entertaining audiences worldwide and the Whippersnappers’ shot in the arm of rockabilly excitement, the band has been thrilling fans all over the United States (playing such festivals as Viva Las Vegas and touring the East and West Coasts) and Europe (at festivals like the Rockabilly Rave in England and the Rockin’ Race Jamboree in Spain). The band released their debut album, Honky Tonkin’ Rhythm, in 2023 on Major Label Records and have been touring behind it since. Dickerson has toured with various bands in the past, including the Dave and Deke Combo and Deke Dickerson and the Ecco-Fonics. His former band members have gone on to play with Social Distortion, X, Tiger Army, and Los Straitjackets.   Grab dinner before the show at BABYGOLD BARBECUE (link to restaurant website) Or enjoy full service dining inside the club when doors open.   ***PARKING*** There is rather limited street parking in the area, we recommend arriving by rideshare, bicycle, or rickshaw.     ***AGE RESTRICTIONS*** 21+, minors admitted with guardian
