My friend Jasen would LOVE to jam with Kirby, and I'd love to hear them together--Jasen's a great slide man and Kirby's freakin' UNBELIEVABLE on that thing.
Yep heard this morning and it's now confirmed by Kirby himself... Kirby won the Guitar Center "King of the Blues" contest in the Finals at House of Blues in Hollywood last night KOTB 2009 HOB for those searching by phone ;)
i had the great fortune to study lap steel under kirby a few years ago. he knows his stuff. and is a great guy .. go kirby! ps take him a score bar or butterfinger, maybe you can get a free tip!
Ive seen Kirby a couple times here outside Saint Louis. Ive had the pleasure of not only hearing his magnificent playing but meeting him as well. Hes truely genuine and surely gifted. I look forward to seeing him again down the line.
I have seen Kirby twice in a small intimate club named Pearl in Dallas, and this guy is in a class all his own. He plays with more feeling than I think any one I have ever seen. He is a showman without much show. What I mean by that is no frills no BS just hardcore guitar playing. With Kirby, the crowd is stunned with silence, just watching him, as he masters his style of playing. He is truly a pleasure to watch, and hear. I look forward to the next time I can see his show.
You can tell it is all from the heart as you watch Kirby's expressions; he is feeling what he plays...which reflects in his most fantastic talent! He has more admirers than he would ever know!!
Good stuff!

I went to highschool with Kirby and he is just as good a person as he was then. But, boy oh boy, did he ever practice.
Way to go Kirby.

Kirby is an amazing person. I used to see him every chance I got at Breaktime in Denison . He is the reason I picked the guitar up.
I wish I could find his show schedule, Anybody ?

He'll be in Denison, TX, on Friday, July 31, at Music on Main. It starts at 7:30pm.

I look forward to seeing Kirby again. I have been going to most of the Denison shows. Voodoo Blues was really good. Thanks for the heads up on Kirby.

Dan Lange told me about this man and im a fan. I think its sad that as he plays his heart out there is some fool talking over his killer playing.
Love you Kirby
