First off, Happy New Year. 2012 was eventful, and I expect 2013 to be another interesting year.
Old Town Alexandria has a 'First Night' celebration, and one of the bands that usually plays is Bill Kirchen & Too Much Fun. Bill shares the Torpedo Factory venue with The Grandsons, which is appropriate since both bands are good Americana roots rock.
Since it is late, I won't go into a lot of text on the bands, and will let the photos speak for themselves. Needless to say, both bands are great, and Bill Kirchen is an institution. If you listen to music, you have probably heard his guitar.
