  • This "official showcase" at the 2016 Folk Alliance Conference in Kansas City, MO on February 20, 2016 was a telecaster guitar "summit" with Kirchen, Volkaert and Lee playing for over 30 minutes. Kirchen and Volkaert played a great showcase in 2015 (I have it on TH-cam) but this was even better with addition of Lee. This is one of quite a few 2016 FA videos I'll be posting.

    I love the way these guys all play differently, with their unique personalities. I watch a million blues-rock jams on youtube where all the guitar players sound exactly alike.

    I'd be thanking Redd for being the defacto drummer... keeping such solid time to ground the players. He's so solid.
