Hope everyone is doing well and ready for a Nervous Wrecks show in Reno this evening. Todd Snider and the Wrecks have not had a show together in many years. While his solo career as well as those of his bandmates have flourished, tonight is an event many fans have anxiously awaited. [...]
Will Kimbrough is one of the most prolific Americana musicians of our era. Long a favorite guitarist among musical elite such as Rodney Crowell, Billy Joe Shaver, Todd Snider, and Alison Moorer to name a few, Kimbrough has been the backbone of many tours and albums.
