- Rockabilly reunion
From the Dean’s Desk »
It’s a Virginia Historical Society museum exhibit brought to stage. Leading rockabilly artist Deke Dickerson and Virginians will show why the genre was a hit among young people in the 50s. Rockabilly — a genre that became an often overlooked style of rock ‘n’ roll — merged country, swing, and more into the electric body shakin’ teen rebellion movement. Like Fiddle Journeys, who knows what’s in store when all these musicians come together?
Professional bio
A highly flammable mixture of country, blues and gospel, rockabilly music exploded on the scene in the 1950s to announce the birth of rock and roll. This reunion of great Commonwealth rockabilly musicians, both past and present, celebrates Virginia’s role in the creation of a quintessentially American music.
