Bill Kirchen

"Bill Does Bob"

Grammy nominated guitarist, singer and songwriter Bill Kirchen first gained national recognition as a founding member of Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen. His trademark guitar licks drove their Hot Rod Lincoln cut into the Top Ten in 1972. He has released twelve CDs on his own, and played guitar live or on record with a who's who of Americana and Roots Rock 'N' Roll, among them Gene Vincent, Link Wray, Bo Diddley, Hazel Dickens, Doug Sahm, Hoyt Axton, Emmylou Harris, Maria Muldaur, Dan Hicks, Nick Lowe and Elvis Costello. His latest recordings are The Proper Years and two 12’ vinyls, Tombstone Every Mile and Waxworks, all on Last Music Company.

60 years ago, a teenaged Bill Kirchen saw Bob Dylan go electric at the Newport and was "ruined for normal work." Join Bill for an evening of songs and stories featuring some of Dylan's 1964 + 1965 Newport sets with favorites from Bill's own catalog - from the Commander Cody years until now.
