Legendary guitar player Steve Kimock returns to the Southwest, for the first time in three years,
with his latest project Steve Kimock Crazy Engine. The five-day spring tour, which also features
Hammond B3 player Melvin Seals (JGB), will include visits to Santa Cruz, Sebastopol, Hermosa Beach,
San Diego and Phoenix.
Steve Kimock is distinguished for his incomparable approach to the art of guitar; his ability to
gently tug a flurry of notes with tonal precision is breathtaking. Kimock has an uncanny ability
to relay genuine passion and emotion through his instruments, much like a literary poet speaks
through words. His instinctive understanding of music and high-level dexterity has driven over
thirty years of world-wide performances ---developing a devoted following of music fans and
guitar aficionados alike.
His latest project, Steve Kimock Crazy Engine captures the spirit of free form music leaving one
foot dangling in structure while creating a very intricate form of theme and variation seeded in
rock, pop, jazz, R&B and world music. The band featuring the renowned Melvin Seals on keys and
B-3, also welcomes Kimock's 20 year-old-son John Morgan Kimock on drums, as well as Trevor Exter
on bass and vocals.
Kimock's variegated brand of guitar, alternately subdued and vibrant, defies easy categorization.
At times prog rock/jazz-inflected and at others gypsy-straightaway, his crystal clear tone has
been captivating audiences for more than thirty years.
Kimock co-founded the Jazz/Rock quintessential band Zero in the 80's, KVHW in the 90's, Steve Kimock
Band in 2000, and is currently performing in his new act, Crazy Engine. He is widely embraced by fans
as one who carries the free-form torch of improvisation, through an extensive catalog of original
material in his own bands, as well as through live performances with so many esteemed musicians.
Kimock has performed alongside the likes of Bruce Hornsby (and can be heard on two of Hornsby's
releases), John Cipollina Jerry Garcia and all members of the Grateful Dead, as well as Peter
Frampton, Bonnie Raitt, The Allman Brothers, Buddy Miles, Buddy Cage, Screamin' Jay Hawkins,
Bobby Vega, Martin Fierro, Joe Satriani, Baaba Maal, Angelique Kidjo, Elvin Bishop, George
Porter Jr., Steve Winwood, Derek Trucks, Ivan Neville, Grace Slick, Papa John Creach, Norton
Buffalo, Amos Garrett, Warren Haynes, Hadi Al Sadoon, Stephen Perkins, Nicky Hopkins,
Freddie Roulette, and many more.
His passion and devotion to performing live improvisation is matchless, and his
unparalleled ability to embrace and capture a theater musically is the stuff of
legends.
