Bill Kirchen

Bill Kirchen is an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter from Ann Arbor, Michigan, nicknamed the Titan of the Telecaster. He fuses rockabilly, country, blues, and truck-driving music in a dieselbilly style. As lead guitarist for Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, his licks drove their Top Ten hit "Hot Rod Lincoln" in 1972. His live sets mix dieselbilly classics with honky-tonk holiday numbers and roots-rock weepers.
