They dont often make careers like his, either.From performing with his Who Knows Pickers jug band in Ann Arbor High Schools senior talent show (also on the program: the future Iggy Pop), to birthing the Americana genre with the original hippie country band, Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen, this affable Austinite has been everywhere, man, flying alongside some of the planets coolest cats including the Jesus of Cool, Nick Lowe, and Lowes old protg, Elvis Costello.Kirchen has toured the world with Lowe, who produced an album by Kirchens post-Airmen band, the Moonlighters, and Costello recruited Kirchen for high-profile gigs like the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival and even named his festival band after Kirchens Hammer of the Honky-Tonk Gods album. Lowe appears on that 2006 album, and its 2010 follow-up, Word to the Wise, along with Costello, Maria Muldaur, Dan Hicks and other luminaries.For more on Bill visit www.billkirchen.comDoors @ 7pm | $30 ADV / $35 DOSShow @ 8-10pm
