Details
Two heavyweight guitar slingers and singers find a common ground with their deep history in Honky Tonk and Rock ‘n Roll and their command of the electric guitar. Bill Kirchen is a founding father of Commander Cody, and his diesel-fueled licks drove Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top 10 nationwide. A Grammy nominee for Best Country Instrumental in 2001, he has recorded with Elvis Costello, Emmylou Harris, Nick Lowe, Dan Hicks, Maria Muldaur, Hoyt Axton, Hazel Dickens, Gene Vincent and Link Wray. His Transatlanticana disc cracked the Americana Radio Chart Top 10 in 2018
Redd Volkaert spent many years as the lead guitarist for the mighty Merle Haggard, and has played and recorded with a who’s who of greats, from Dale Watson to Brad Paisley and Billy Gibbons.
Special guest opener, Ginny Mitchell, toured with Redd for years before he went off to seek fame and fortune in Los Angeles, Nashville, and Austin to conquer the world with Merle. This will be a fun reunion.
