Deke Dickerson has devoted his long career to keeping America’s roots music alive while interjecting new creativity into genres of music that flourished in decades previous. Dickerson has been carrying the torch since he was 13, playing in his first rockabilly band in his hometown of Columbia, Missouri. He moved to Los Angeles at the age of 22 and proceeded to found his primary band, Deke Dickerson and the Ecco-Fonics, his newest group, Deke Dickerson and the Whippersnappers, as well as several side projects.

Founders of time2swing, husband and wife dance duo Adolfo and Cat are a hobby turned passion! They have been avidly dancing since 2013. When they met in high school, playing various sports, they never considered themselves dancers and never paid attention to the dance floor. In late 2012, however, Adolfo and Cat saw couples dancing Swing and Lindy Hop at Disneyland and immediately exclaimed they wanted to learn “how they did that!” (their actual words) They have been trained in various dances, such as Latin and Ballroom, too. Their love of all things vintage means they not only teach dance steps, but the rich history that comes with each dance. Now, it is time2swing!

Metro Art Presents showcases an exciting year-round array of arts and cultural programs at historic Union Station since 2013— and now virtually too! For more information: www.metro.net/art.
