Just forwarding this gig announcement from Deke Dickerson:

Subject: Don't Miss! NOKIE EDWARDS of the VENTURES w/ Deke Dickerson this weekend! may 21, 22, 23

Announcing a trio of must-see shows up and down the California coast this weekend, May 21, 22, and 23!

Don't miss Rock and Roll hall of fame member, Grammy-winning legendary guitarist NOKIE EDWARDS of the VENTURES!

"Walk Don't Run" "Pipeline" "2000 Lb. Bee" "Slaughter On 10th Ave." "Drivin' Guitars" "Secret Agent Man" "Diamond Head" - and many more big hits!

Nokie will be backed by VENTURESMANIA, made up of Deke Dickerson (Deke & the Ecco-Fonics, Untamed Youth, Go-Nuts), Garrett Immel (Ghastly Ones), Mel Bergman (Phantom Surfers, Go-Nuts), and Chris Sprague (Sprague Brothers, 18-Wheelers, Go-Nuts). Venturesmania use Mosrite guitars and basses exclusively--the closest thing to seeing the Ventures live in 1965 that you can get!
