Search - Reverend Billy C. Wirtz :: Sermon From Bethlehem

A comic genius and American musicologist, Reverend Billy C. Wirtz blazes a trail across the country playing nightclubs, comedy clubs and performance art centers, bringing his "First House of Polyester Worship" services to the multitudes. The eclectic, wide-ranging subject matter of his songs has fans rolling in the aisles during his manic live performances. Sermon From Bethlehem, released on compact disc and DVD, documents Billy at his schizophrenic best, careening non-stop through a selection of old comic favorites (Grandma VS The Crusher, The Visitor) and soon-to-be classics (Female Problems, Do The Toleration). Billy also whips out some straight ahead boogie woogie (Jerry Rig) and old school hillbilly (Pipeliner Blues, Whole Lot Of Shakin' Goin' On) demonstrating his absolute mastery of the keyboard. Recorded in 2005 at Godfrey Daniels in Bethlehem.... Pennsylvania. The compact disc has a significantly different program than the companion DVD - see Amazon's D!
