The Dre Dog Commeth, Again

Mr. Andre Nickatina, looking dapper as usual.

Nice barn!One way to describe Steve Kimock's career is that he became well known
for being unknown. Why? Well, once upon a time, Jerry Garcia called
Kimock his favorite unknown guitarist, and, as you'd expect, Kimock
became exponentially less "unknown" soon thereafter.

Kimock isn't exactly a household name even today. Rather, he's sort of
a musician's musician - a guitarist whose skills are as admirable as
the music he produces. He's also the sort of musician who is often
brought up whenever the always-contentious Rolling Stone's Greatest
Guitarists of All Time debate of 2003 is reprised. And after years of
playing in an array of bands, many of which are branches of the
Grateful Dead family tree (Heart of Gold Band, Phil Lesh and Friends,
Rat Dog and others), the past decade has seen Kimock achieve a senior
statesman status within the jam rock world. And now, he is taking his
new ensemble, Steve Kimock Crazy Engine, out on the road this spring,
playing what the guitarist implies is good times music for what some
people might consider bad times.
