The King of Surf, Dick Dale himself will be playing at the Ardmore Music Hall in Ardmore, PA (just outside Philly) on 8/16/18. The Ardmore is a great venue; basically a moderate sized club with great sound and good sight lines and plenty of good places to eat nearby. I'm on vacation that week so I'm planning on being there for sure. I saw Dick there last year and he tore the roof off the place. Top

He will be returning to an Alexandria, Virginia venue called Birchmere on Thursday, August 30, 2018. Would be great if his fans show up to support him, take in some shredding, only he can do. Here's a photo of him at Birchmere on May 26, 2004. Dusty Watson was on drums, Sam Bolle on bass at that show. — http://tunefan.com http://www.youtube.com/tunefan Top

Despite his age and health issues, I can attest to the fact that once the King straps his Strat on he still has it. Unlike some other "older" stars of the past, he doesn't phone it in. If you closed your eyes you probably couldn't tell it was an 80 year old ripping away. Top

I saw him here in Memphis this past April, he recognized me and pulled me up on stage with him! I wrote a trip report a few years ago about how we hung out together at Sun Studio when his show got canceled. It was much more than a once in a lifetime experience. — MooreLoud.com - A tribute to Dick Dale. Last edited: Aug 11, 2018 21:54:33 Top
