The Steel Guitar Forum

Most likely we're coming to a town near you. The Twangbangers are Bill Kirchen, Redd Volkaert, Dallas Wayne, myself, and Johnny & Jack who are Bill's rhythm section. We'll be playing as a band, and pass the tunes around. We each coincidentally have two albums out on Hightone. It should be a hell of a show. Make sure you say hi if you make it out.

Joe, I used to work with a Dallas Wayne in Nashville in the 70's. Later heard he moved to Chicago and had his eyes repaired. Is this the same one? Bass player/singer/songwriter.

Yes, same man!He also lived in Finland for about 4 years and I had the pleasure of playing in his band here.Good times!
All the best to everyone on the tour!

Thanks for the tour dates Joe , I'll be at the Ann Arbor show. I saw Johnny and Jack with Bill Kirchen two years back and he called them the " Too Much Fun Orchestra " . They are a really good rhythm section. I'm looking forward to seeing this show.

Hello Joe,
What a great schedule and opportunity! I wish you were performing in Denver. Best of luck with the tour.

I'll be at Off Broadway in St. Louis on 10/3. Anyone else going let me know, it's always nice to meet your cyber neighors in person.
