Steve Kimock flexes his versatility in 2010 with a number of exclusive solo,
acoustic and full band performances spanning both coasts.
Beginning on 4/20, Kimock joins long-time collaborator Bobby Vega for a very
auspicious performance at their old stomping grounds in Fairfax, CA. This
one-night event will serve as a launching pad for the Steve Kimock Crazy
Engine tour kicking off the next day at the Hopmonk in Sebastopol, CA.
Setting the tone for the tour, the Hopmonk performance will also include
Bobby Vega as a special guest, for what looks like a night of intense
dueling bass licks and the crystal clear guitar phrasing that only Steve
Kimock can deliver.
Crazy Engine continues down the track on April 22nd for an Earth Day celebration
at Moe's Alley in Santa Cruz, CA. This three-set show boasts a rare Kimock solo
opener - the first of its kind in California followed by Steve Kimock Crazy Engine
featuring the legendary Melvin Seals on Hammond B3 and keys (JGB), Kimock's
twenty-year-old son John Morgan Kimock on drums and Trevor Exter, on bass and
vocals. The Crazy Engine run then heads south to Hermosa Beach and San Diego,
with a stop in between in Phoenix, AZ for a late night performance at the
Compound Grill as part of the McDowell Mountain Music Festival - marking
Kimock's first show in the southwest for over three years.
Also scheduled for the spring, Kimock will perform a two-show solo
performance in NYC at The Stone on May 7th. Known for his intrinsic
ability to speak through the guitar, this one-night run is sure to
bring out a side of Kimock's music (and instruments) rarely seen in
the public, and often reserved for late nights in the heart of his home
studio. The new non-profit performance space is dedicated to the experimental
and the avante garde, a seemingly perfect environment for the unconventional
guitarist and his solo muse.
Then, beginning on May 20th, Kimock will embark on a four-day journey
with the Everyone Orchestra. The traveling event will kick off at Hodi's
Half Note in Fort Collins on May 20th and will continue to Quixote's True
Blue (formerly Owsleys) on Saturday May 21 and Sunday May 22nd. This
rendition of the project features a stellar line up of nationally renowned
talent including Kyle Hollingsworth (SCI), Jennifer Hartswick (Trey Anastasio Band),
Dave Watts (The Motet), Jamie Janover (Zilla), Garrett Sayers (The Motet),
Jamie Masefield (Jazz Mandolin Project), Matt Butler and of course, YOU.
An additional Sunday, May 23rd performance (minus Hollingsworth) is billed
as a happy hour show featuring an acoustic set and with other special
guests to be announced.
With little pause, Kimock will then join forces with the ultra-experimental
Marco Benevento for an intimate powerhouse show at the River Street
Jazz Cafe in Wilkes-Barre, PA - near Kimock's home turf, on June 17th.
Both known for their emotive and often instrumental arrangements, this
paring is sure not to disappoint.
With a summer packed with Crazy Engine festival dates, a few appearances with
Holy Kimoto! (Furthurmore Fest and Ned Fest) and Youssoupha Sidibe tucked in between,
this is wrapping up to be an eventful season for Steve Kimock.
Steve Kimock will top off the summer with an appearance at the National Guitar
Workshop in CT on August 3rd as a guest artist. He will be offering hands-on
instruction and music education during one of the most prominent guitar
workshops in the country. For those tuned into his new on-line blog aptly
named "Kimocks Korner" on his website, now is the chance to interact with
Kimock in person.
"Unconventional. Experimental. It's sort of the Steve Kimock way." - CNN, 2009
