Bill Kirchen

The Ark 316 S. Main, Ann Arbor, MI, United States

Grammy nominated guitarist, singer and songwriter Bill Kirchen first gained national recognition as a founding member of Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen. His trademark guitar licks drove their Hot Rod Lincoln cut into the Top Ten in 1972. 60 years ago, a teenaged Bill Kirchen saw Bob Dylan go electric at the Newport and was "ruined for normal work." Join Bill for an evening of songs and stories featuring some of Dylan's 1964 + 1965 Newport sets with favorites from Bill's own catalog - from the Commander Cody years until now.

Special Event

Nick Shoulders

El Club 4114 W Vernor Hwy, Detroit, MI, United States

“All Bad,” the latest album from Nick Shoulders, ultimately encapsulates everything that makes Nick’s inimitable form of country music so vital: a heady balance of dazzling musicianship and punk defiance, coupled with gritty eccentricity and a generational connection to the roots of the genre. With a singing style inherited from his family’s vocal lineage, Nick’s songs achieve the rare feat of imparting difficult truths while inciting a certain joyful abandon, balancing a sound forged by years of hard travel with a heartfelt reverence for the origins of country music.
