We appreciate Mike Snider checking in with craveDFW and giving us a schedule for some upcoming shows at Allgood Cafe in Deep Ellum. Allgood is your source for the best chicken fried steak and some damned good live tunes. Here are a few shows you may wish to catch.
Saturday, January 7, 2012 Bill Kirchen
Bill Kirchen is most known as the smokin’ lead guitarist from ’70s Bay Area Honky Tonkin fave Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, and the hits Hot Rod Lincoln and Too Much Fun. In the decades since those halcyon days, Bill Kirchen has constantly toured, recorded and performed with some of the greats of our time, including projects with Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Doug Sahm, Hoyt Axton and Link Wray– all the while spreading the Gospel of Dieselbilly and the Twangiest Guitar on the Planet.

Thursday, January 12, 2012 Butch Hancock
A World-traveling Troubadour with a long string of recorded songs and albums, Butch Hancock has been called “one of the finest songwriters of our time” and is acknowledged by his peers as one of the premier singer songwriters Texas has ever produced. Also a member of The Flatlanders, along with lifelong friends Joe Ely and Jimmie Dale Gilmore, his lyrical style has often been compared to that of Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie.
