The interesting 'mugshots' above aren't decoys in a Police Lineup. They are illustrious musicians! They will all be playing their guts out at the 5th Annual Benefit for the
Richard de Lone Special Housing Project, presented each year by Richard's parents Austin and rdshp President Lesley de Lone. (Their talented singer/songwriter daughter
Caroline de Lone will be performing at the concert too).

Bill Kirchen and The Hammer of the Honky Tonk Gods
|
'Titan of the Telecaster'
Bill Kirchen and his band,
The Hammer of the Honky Tonk Gods, will be the hosts with the most and house band.
'Bill Kirchen, the self-proclaimed 'King of Dieselbilly' will be playing his own high flyin' hits as well as adding his steaming hot licks to an amazing array of singer/songwriters from around the country,'
Austin de Lone, benefit organiser for his Prader-Willi son/my nephew told me today.
Musicians who will congregate from all over the USA to twang their instruments at this gorgeous sounding benefit are:
From Nashville, Grammy winning country/bluegrass crooner
Jim Lauderdale, guitar slinger/producer-to-the-stars
Buddy Miller ......and from New York City
Steve Earle.
From Austin Texas, Bill Kirchen and the sagebrush soul of Flatlander and Wrongler
Jimmie Dale Gilmore. From California, songwriter to the songwriters
Kevin Blackie Farrell and Academy, Grammy and Golden Globe award winner
Ryan Bingham.
If all that isn't Magnificent enough, the legendary
Preservation Hall Jazz Band of New Orleans 'swings in to lend their funk and spice to the whole evening.'
'This will truly be a ruckus to remember!' proclaims killer keyboarder player Austin, whose party trick is to crawl up the walls when hypnotically playing his ivories.
PS. I for one, will NOT be wearing my earplugs at this concert even if it means I shall lose my hearing for months afterwards.
