Rockabilly Bassist "Slick" Joe Fick

If you've spent any time on Memphis' famed Beale St. in the past few years, chances are likely that you've seen or at least heard of one of Bluff City's best known and most entertaining bands; a "high octane" Rockabilly trio known as The Dempseys, made up of Joe Fick (Upright Bass) Brad Birkedahl (Guitar) and Ron Perrone (Drums). In addition to being stellar musicians individually, the group delivered hours of awe-inspiring performances that included countless variations of instrument swapping and effortless instrumental gymnastics that had to been seen to be appreciated.
