Mike Bradley. keeping track of the Titan of the Telecaster

Mike, like many of us, is a Bill Kirchen fan and went to Newport, Kentucky for the second annual Hagfest on April 6 where Bill was the headliner. The concert was a tribute to Merle Haggard and a benefit for the Appalachian Prison Book Project. Mike also caught the last night of Bill’s Honky Tonk Holiday Tour in Cleveland in December. Tom Bloomer saw Bill’s holiday show at the Ark in Ann Arbor and said that, as always, Bill put on a great show. Bill also performed at SWSX, the famed South by Southwest® global music industry event in Austin, where he is a regular every year.
