Bill Kirchen and Too Much Fun

Bill Kirchen plays American roots music. His performances celebrate an American musical tradition where country music draws upon its origins in blues and bluegrass, and in the Western swing of Texas and California honky tonks. Kirchen first gained renown as lead guitarist and as a vocalist for Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen, the renegade country-rock band that tuned a whole generation of rock fans on to the joys of unvarnished country, boogie and rockabilly. He has played guitar on recordings and in performances with Gene Vincent, Link Wray, Danny Gatton, Emmylou Harris, Hoyt Axton, Nick Lowe and Elvis Costello. Bill Kirchen and Too Much Fun won Roots Rock Album and Instrumentalist of the Year at the Washington Area Music Awards in 1999.
