Forget the Nutcracker and Handel’s Messiah. For a real taste of seasonal cheer, nothing says joy to the world like Bill Kirchen singing Daddy’s Drinkin’ Up Our Christmas. The Too Much Fun annual Honky Tonk Holiday Tour stops at Lovin’ Cup on December 4th.
Featured is a sleigh-full of rarely heard holiday numbers from the blues, rock ‘n’ roll and honky tonk bags: Silent Surfin’ Night, Truckin’ Trees for Christmas, Santa Looked A Lot Like Daddy, and many more. But be ye not afraid, there’ll be so much more than holiday songs of questionable taste; you can count on a truckload of dieselbilly classics to take the edge off the holiday fuss.
Guitar Player Magazine dubbed Bill Kirchen the “Titan of the Telecaster.” Rolling Stone said he’s “an American treasure” and “one of our best.” No matter what you call him, Kirchen is a founding father of the Americana movement, now at the peak of his impressive career.
