The Rock-A-Sonics play a versatile mix of rockabilly, vintage country, and piano pounding rock ‘n roll. Led by the gifted young Willie Barry, they’re the real deal. They perform regularly throughout the Mid-Atlantic and at national rockabilly festivals.

The Peashooters
Jason “Hoss” Hicks is a founding member of rockabilly band, The Peashooters, and US skiffle pioneers, the Old Line Skiffle Combo. Now living in the Tidewater VA area, Jason has been steadily playing around the Blue Ridge circuit. He makes annual appearances at the Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion, and does occasional shows locally, including many appearances on the Buddy Holly Tribute, where he delivers the Ritchie Valens material perfectly!
For this show at Dietle’s, Jason will be doing some Peashooters material, some Ritchie Valens, and some of his own stuff. He’ll be backed by Louie and Tommy (Rock-A-Sonics) who were also in The Peashooters, plus Eric Hurtt on guitar, filling in for the late great Pedro Sera.
