It is said that a Bill Kirchen performance brings into the present day half a century of virtuoso guitar playing by legends such as Merle Travis, Joe Maphis, James Burton and Duane Eddy.
Grammy nominated for his telecaster guitar playing, Kirchen came to the notice of the public first as lead player for Commander Cody & his Lost Planet Airmen, one of the first bands to cross over from country-rock to unashamed country, boogie and rockabilly.
