Twangin’ And Sangin’ Bill Kirchen Trio And Webb Wilder

CRITIC'S PICK:
Sat., March 7
Bill Kirchen Trio, Webb Wilder, Eddie's Attic - This rollicking double bill of roots-rocking loyalists finds two veterans of what is now called Americana diving into their craft with the dedication only decades in the music trenches brings. Few other than guitar aficionados elevate ex-Commander Cody cohort Kirchen's extensive years banging on his beat-up Telecaster to the genius status he deserves. But after witnessing a single gig, you'll realize how shortsighted fret-burning lovers can be not to acknowledge Kirchen's mastery of all things twang. Wilder, also a daytime DJ on Nashville's roots radio station WMOT, has an encyclopedic knowledge of American music, from garage to country, and a batch of pretty great albums to prove it. Don't miss this certain sell-out gig. - Hal Horowitz
