The 9th Annual Guitar Geek Festival, which takes place this Friday and Saturday nights at the Anaheim Plaza Hotel, will feature a performance by the reunited Hellecasters, who will be playing their first show together in more than 10 years.

The Hellecasters -- Jerry Donahue, John Jorgenson and Will Ray -- will headline the Saturday-night show, which will cap off two nights' worth of non-stop guitar mania that also includes performances by Los Straitjackets, Paul Gilbert, Nokie Edwards of The Ventures, Rick Vito and the event's host, Deke Dickerson.

On Friday, doors open at 5 p.m. and the show starts at 6. On Saturday, doors open at 4 p.m. and the show starts at 5.
