Deedle Deedle Dees – Tickets On Sale Now!
Valley favorites the Deedle Deedle Dees will make their triumphant return to Flywheel on Saturday, February 26, at 1:00, and you can buy discounted advance tickets now. They’re just $5 per ticket or $15 for a family four-pack, and can be ordered at Brown Paper Tickets starting today.
The Dees will be doing a special Black History Month show featuring tunes about Sojourner Truth, Fannie Lou Hamer, Cool Papa Bell, Satchel Paige, Henry Box Brown, and other folks worthy of song — including some songs never before performed in the Valley.
Tickets are, again, just $5 in advance, $15 for a family four-pack (and infants are free). A better deal cannot be found in all the thirteen colonies.
The show is part of the No Nap Happy Hour series, presented by Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child and Hilltown Families.
Exclusive: New Gustafer Yellowgold Video!
We’re taking part in the weeklong celebration of All Things Gustafer Yellowgold (at least All Things Gustafer Yellowgold’s Infinity Sock), which means today — and today only — you get to see a preview of the video for the song “Cheddar” (also played on today’s show). Check it out:
(Note that use of the song does not imply any endorsement of the Green Bay Packers, although I am, kinda, rooting for them tomorrow.)
Pre-order the CD/DVD set either through their online store or through a little outfit called Amazon.
