Crazy Joe’s big New Years Eve show at Peach’s
“Crazy” Joe Tritschler, front man for the Dayton rock-a-billy band Crazy Joe and The Mad River Outlaws, returned home from a six-week tour with surf-rock guitar hero, Deke Dickerson, to find he had some houseguests.
He walked into his house and saw surf rocker Terd Ferguson asleep on his couch with a busted yardstick in one hand and an open box of Oatmeal Cream Pies in the other.
Ferguson’s band, Terd Ferguson and his Latvian Polka All-stars, are in town to share the stage with Crazy Joe at the big New Year’s Eve show at Peach’s Grill on Sunday December 31st.
Crazy Joe will ring in 2007 with hopes that it will be a big year for him and the band. They have a busy spring festival schedule booked and a brand new full-length in the works.
They plan to celebrate these future achievements with complimentary Champaign at midnight.

I had a chance to chat with Joe about the big New Years Eve show and here is what he said.
KN - I have seen Deke Dickerson and I think he’s great. How was your tour with him?
JT - Oh, touring with Deke is a blast, if only he wouldn’t ridicule me onstage so much! Seriously, getting to tour with my hero and play packed houses across the country with some of the finest musicians around is quite an honor. I’ll be playing festivals with him in the spring in Green Bay, Las Vegas, New Orleans, and even one in the UK and I can’t wait!
KN - Do you have anything special planned for the New Years Show?
JT - The big news for this New Year’s Eve is the return of Terd Ferguson and his Latvian Polka All-Stars. If you haven’t seen this band, you’re obligated to go…they’re truly indescribable. Like a train wreck, you just can’t look away. Oh, and Honest Rob and I will be doing a certain Johnny Cash/June Carter duet. I’ll let your readers take bets as to which guy sings which part.
KN - What’s in store for you guys in 2007?
JT - We’re working on a full-length LP due out before we play the big Green Bay festival in May. We hadn’t done a full-length album since 2004, so it’s about time, I’d say. I just hope that sharing the stage with Little Richard doesn’t make any of us throw up, have a heart attack, or spontaneously combust like the drummer in Spinal Tap. Could happen.
