Kirchen’s impact over the years has been huge. In 1972, with Commander Cody at the helm, Kirchen put his signature "Big Rig" Telecaster Guitar Sound to "Hot Rod Lincoln" and it became a top 10 single.
He transformed the twanging Fender guitar into the muscle car of music. Banging on the big string, Kirchen has continued to elevate his genre, now called "Americana” music. His recent album, "Hammer of the Honky-Tonk Gods” has taken him to the top of the Americana music charts.
Kirchen is recognized by his peers as one of the most thrilling roots-music guitarist alive.
Kirchen and bandmates will perform from 1-4 p.m.
Guitarist extraordinaire Mighty Mike Schermer has been a fixture on the Bay Area Blues scene for over 20 years.
In that span of time he has carved out a solid solo career, with two critically acclaimed CDs, an award winning single and thousands of performances at festivals and nightclubs the world over.
He has become the “go to guy” sideman for such heavyweights as Elvin Bishop, Bonnie Raitt, Charlie Musselwhite, Maria Muldaur, Howard Tate, Angela Strehli, Sista Monica, Shana Morrison and many, many more.
We may be judged by the company we keep, but when the spotlight shines, a solo artist must be able to bring the goods all on his own. Mighty Mike Schermer delivers on all fronts.
Mighty Mike and special guest performers from the Coastside and beyond will be on stage from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
