Juneau Afternoon’s week-long Alaska Folk Festival coverage ends with a live studio audience show in KTOO’s downstairs studio. Deke Dickerson Western Swing All Stars plays their world premiere concert, and each musician chats with host Bostin Christopher about their work and music careers.
The Deke Dickerson Western Swing All-Stars combines veteran West Coast and Texas musicians who are well-versed in the style made famous by Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, Tex Williams and his Western Caravan, and Asleep at the Wheel.
Musicians include bassist Brad Fordham and drummer Lisa Pankratz (who have worked with Dave Alvin, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Billy Joe Shaver), fiddle player Katie Shore (who has worked with Asleep at the Wheel and scores of other Texas country acts), pedal steel guitarist Russ Blake (from the Lucky Stars), and lead guitarist Ian Miller. And the group is led by Roots music luminary Deke Dickerson.
Bostin Christopher hosts the conversation. Juneau Afternoon airs at 3:00 p.m. on KTOO and KAUK with a rebroadcast at 7:00 p.m. Listen online or subscribe to the podcast at ktoo.org/juneauafternoon.
