Bill Kirchen and his Silent Knights will make a stop on their annual Honky Tonk Holiday Tour at Lovin Cup on Monday 12/2. Featured is a sleigh-full of rarely heard holiday numbers from the blues, rock n roll and honky tonk bags: Silent Surfin Night, Truckin Trees for Christmas, Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin, and more. But be ye not afraid, therell be so much more than holiday songs of questionable taste; you can count on a truckload of dieselbilly classics, rockers, and country weepers to take the edge off the holiday fuss. So mark your calendars and check em twice - Santa Claus is back in town! Kirchen is touring with his all-star Texas guys - Jack Saunders on bass and Rick Richards on drums.As a founding father of the proto-Americana group Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen, Kirchen wrought a diesel-fueled guitar hook that drove their Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top 10 nationwide. Kirchen went on to the Grammys where he was nominated for Best Country Instrumental in 2001. He has recorded with Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, Dan Hicks, Maria Muldaur, Hoyt Axton, Hazel Dickens, Gene Vincent and Link Wray, and has toured the world as guitarist with Cody, Nick Lowe, Hoyt Axton and Emmylou Harris.Guitar Player Magazine dubbed Bill Kirchen the Titan of the Telecaster. Rolling Stone said hes an American treasure and one of our best. No matter what you call him, Kirchen is a founding father of the Americana movement, now at the peak of his impressive career.Doors @ 5:30pm | $30 ADV / $35 DOSShow @ 7-10pm
