Bill Kirchen September 19
American roots legend, grammy nominated, "titan of the telecaster" Bill Kirchen stops in Springfield on September 19 to perform for the Bedrock 66 Live music series. Kirchen is best known as guitarist and sometime vocalist for Commander Cody and the Lost Plant Airmen. In 1972 Kirchen's twangy telecaster runs could be heard all over the air waves on the top ten hit, Hot Rod Lincoln.
Kirchen has shared the stage with the likes of Nick Lowe, Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello, Doug Sahm and Ralph Stanley. He is also a charter member of honky-tonk supergroup The Twangbangers along with Redd Volkaert and Dallas Wayne. He was nominated in 2001 for a grammy in the best country instrumental performance category for Poultry in Motion.
A Bill Kirchen show will leave you reminiscing about the great guitar players of the 20th century. From Hendrix to Maphis, Travis to Burton, Kirchen is a true guitar players' guitar player. Expect an evening of non-stop truck drivin, cryin' in your beer, drag racin', old school honky-tonkin' music.
