"It's a sacred sandbox," says Butler. "The stage a sacred place to share the music. You're fully improvising, and the only preparation you can do is to be in the moment, the way an athlete is during a game. Not to withdraw into yourself, but to be engaged, to dodge and throw the ball." And Kimock loves it!

“Satellite City” is the first single from Steve Kimock’s forthcoming (October 27th) album of the same name.  It will be available September 27^th at ITunes and Amazon and of course at kimock.com. The tune sets Kimock’s splendid guitar against Leslie Mendelson’s beautiful voice in a beautifully mystical dream state, and it’s a wonderful choice in what will be a superb album. 

Two years ago Steve spent a winter’s retreat in a barn with lots of acoustic guitars and an engineer making Last Danger of Frost.  He chose Leslie, his son John Morgan Kimock (drums) and Bobby Vega (bass) to make up the band that toured behind the release, and they found themselves inspired to write lots more songs, which gives us Satellite City.

Steve Kimock’s imaginative guitar work continues to evolve. For over forty years he’s crafted boundless music that captivates and expands consciousness.

KIMOCK is a project that began in January of 2017 with a group of improvisational veterans both family and old friends.

Steve and his gifted son John Morgan enlisted musical blood brother Bobby Vega alongside blooming collaborator Leslie Mendelson.

The band shattered preconceived notions based upon Kimock’s expansive previous compositional catalogue. A key factor in the shifting emphasis toward original lyrics and vocals was sparked by Steve and Leslie’s potent musical comradery.

KIMOCK’s many performances nationwide have captured the adoration of Steve’s extensive devoted fan base.

Grateful Web is pleased to premier a KIMOCK original, soon to be released on the group’s first studio album. “Satellite City,” is a perfect capsule of the wistful song-craftsmanship this ensemble is capable of. The band KIMOCK will tour behind the CD in November. For now, listen to the single, “Satellite City,” and enjoy.

The second single from the forthcoming album "Satellite City" is the Bruce Cockburn song Jerry Garcia sang, Waiting for a Miracle, with Leslie Mendelson singing the lead.

Pre-orders the album at iTunes and Amazon for instant downloads of "Satellite City" and "Waiting For A Miracle," out now.

Only a few autographed albums remain in the Kimock Store. Shop "Satellite City" music and merch bundles, while supplies last.

No other tune on the record evolved as far from its origins as this one for me. The musical seed was an acoustic resonator guitar sound I used on Last Danger of Frost. Just a little cascading melody, harmonics, sounded like spilled water. I played it for Johnny and Leslie, who responded as if I’d yelled mush at two sled dogs, and I’ve been ass-over-teakettle trying to keep up ever since. Strong band, heavy lifting all around check Bobby Vega on the outro. The longest song and longest journey by a song on the record. - Steve Kimock

'Satellite City' arrives this Friday, October 27. Preorder at iTunes and Amazon for instant downloads of "Variation," "Satellite City" and "Waiting For A Miracle," out now.

There’s no better way to celebrate the release of recorded music than to go play it live. Come and listen to our new track played live for the first time, plus gems from our latest record Satellite City and other assorted guitar wizardry with Kimock & Friends* in CA and Oregon, feat. Steve Kimock, John Morgan Kimock, Leslie Mendelson, Andy Hess & friends, including special guests Lebo and Jackie Greene this weekend at the Sweetwater Music Hall. Tickets are on sale now.

What an honor and a pleasure to host the great Debashish Bhattacharya, pioneer and master of Indian slide guitar.  

Kimock and Debashish will be playing a show together on Sunday, May 12 at Godfrey Daniels in Bethlehem, PA.

A meeting of kindred spirits from opposite sides of the world and entirely different musical traditions, this is the first time ever these two will share the stage in a most intimate musical gathering at Lehigh Valley's premier listening room.  Join us as they reach beyond the original tradition to explore and create new forms of musical expression, colors and shapes from a shared sensibility and spiritual kinship. 

LIMITED TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE.

Steve Kimock will host a separate musical workshop given by Debashish during the day at Godfrey Daniels from 12:00-4:00PM.

For more info and to purchase tickets to show or workshop visit HERE. The show and workshop are separate events and patrons require tickets to each.  There is limited space at this intimate listening room, so we suggest purchasing tickets for show in advance.
