Bill Kirchen – 7/8

Bill Kirchen with the Two Turtle Doves — Jack Saunders (bass) and Rick Richards (drums).

Date: July 8
Doors: 5:30 PM
Showtime: 7:00 PM (scheduled end 9:00 PM)

Bill Kirchen is one of the fortunate few who can step on any stage, play those trademark guitar licks he created for the Commander Cody classic "Hot Rod Lincoln," and elicit immediate recognition. As a founding member of Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, Kirchen helped propel "Hot Rod Lincoln" into the Top 10 and was later nominated for a Grammy (Best Country Instrumental, 2001).

He has recorded with Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, Dan Hicks, Maria Muldaur, Hoyt Axton, Hazel Dickens, Gene Vincent and Link Wray, and has toured as guitarist with Cody, Nick Lowe, Hoyt Axton and Emmylou Harris. Kirchen was inducted into the Washington DC Wammie Music Awards Hall of Fame in 2001.

Bill will be drawing on songs from his extensive catalogue (over two dozen albums), including recent releases: Back from the Ozone (Lost Planet Airmen reunion, October 2023), and the 2021 LPs Waxworks and Tombstone Every Mile, plus The Proper Years and Tombstone on CD and digital formats via Last Music Company.

Press quotes:
- Washington Post: "Seldom has traveling across the rock and country landscape been this much fun"
- Guitar Player: "The Titan of the Telecaster…cuts loose with some of the fattest, gnarliest low-down twang imaginable"
- Rolling Stone: "A musical treasure, a fantastic player, and, in these roots-conscious times, very much a pioneer, Bill Kirchen is one of our best."
