• Nick Lowe & Bill Kirchen-- Oct. 14th
• 9:00pm

Nick Lowe has been all over the map. Originally from England, with success America, Canada, and Australia, his style has been as wide ranging as his appeal. With roots as a punk rock revivalist in the late 70s, to production gigs with Elvis Costello and the Pretenders, into Brit-pop where he recorded British top-10 hit “ I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass” all the way to country records. Throughout his 40 year career, Lowe has enjoyed popular success, and his newest album, At My Age feels like an all-timer. His original drive to bring back three minute pop singles and hard driving rock and roll still remains, and after 40 years, Lowe is as fresh and dun as the first time he stepped on stage.

Opening for Nick Lowe is Bill Kirchen, a Grammy nominated guitarist, singer and songwriter. Bill Kirchen is one of the fortunate few who can step on any stage, play those trademark licks which drove the seminal Commander Cody classic Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top Ten nationwide, and elicit instant recognition for a career thats spanned over 30 years and includes performances with names like Nick Lowe, Emmylou Harris, Doug Sahm, Elvis Costello and Danny Gatton. Named A Titan of the Telecaster by Guitar Player Magazine, he celebrates 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. An apt description of Bills singing, songwriting and guitar playing skill is provided in this quote from Nick Lowe: He's like a devastating culmination of the elegant and funky... a really sensational musician, with enormous depth.
