Opening for Bill Kirchen in Charlotte
just got the word this morning that my roots trio, Lunatic Fringe, snagged the opening spot for the Kirchen show this Thursday. an all-Tele bill!

needless to say i'm honored, but you can imagine i'll be putting in some extra practice time this week.

anybody know who he's touring with these days? i heard Johnny and Jack weren't with him any more, but i did hear from the promoter he was playing as a trio.

Jack's back, and his bass player is Claude Arthur.

You're gonna have, dare I say it, too much fun!

Bill's pretty much the nicest guy in the world, and of course, he's as funny as he is an amazing performer. Tell him Tim Armstrong says howdy!

Cheers, Tim

Alright Woodman! Congrats on the gig, & enjoy.

Hey when you see Kirchen, ask him to point his car further south down I-95 someday ... been years since I've seen / heard him coming to FL ...

Very Nice! Now, if only you could film some of your set and put it on youtube. Have fun. Hey, maybe you can find out when Bill is going to relase a new album.

Woody, is this Tom and the drummer you had at Redbone Willy's?

I'm going out on a limb here guys, and say that if it is, a finer band I don't think you'll see. These guys had fun the whole time they played, the drummer (sorry I've forgotten his name) actually raised my opinion of drummers in general...lol. Tom takes bass playing to another level, I still remember the Pink Panther tune. What can you say about Woody playing the Woodcaster. I can't wait to see the show.

Boy, no pressure there! There was an opening act for the Hellecasters when they blew through Atlanta quite a number of years ago. The guitar player for that band walked out on stage with his tele, stepped up to the mike and said: "Can you believe that I've got the guts to walk out on this stage with a Telecaster?" There was some Hellacious tele pickin' that night for sure.

Good luck on your gig!

That's way cool. Good venue, too. I'll try to make it out. We're there on the 11th (South85) with the Bill Noonan Band and (I think) Carolina Gator Gumbo.

He had Jack and Claude with him when we played with him - Claude is absolutely amazing (Jack is too, of course!) and you're going to have a BLAST, my friend!
