Bill Kirchen Is Coming! Bill Kirchen Is Coming!

If you remember the classic early 70s hit single of "Hot Rod Lincoln" by Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, you should be excited about Friday, June 26. Bill Kirchen, the man whose electric guitar chops fired up that record, will appear at 5 pm right here on our stage in Euclid Records for the next in the popular Euclid Sessions Series.

Kirchen has been releasing terrific albums of his own for years, and his songwriting has come to be as much fun as his guitar playing. He says it's "country-flavored music as well as western swing, rockabilly, bluegrass, country tear-jerkers, and truck-driving music," and there's nothing we can add to a description so accurate.

The Euclid Sessions Series is going quite well - this will be eighth live performance since the series began last Fall. The first three sessions - Steve Wynn and the Miracle Three, the Hard Lessons, and Terry Adams - have already resulted in 7" singles which are selling fast. More will be coming in July. $1 for each of the limited-edition runs of 300 copies will be donated to the New Orleans Musician's Relief Fund.

Oh, and if you want more Bill Kirchen, he'll move down the street to the Gazebo in Old Orchard for that night's Gazebo Series of concert / film pairings outdoors. He'll play down there at 7 pm.
