Steve Kimock and Friends return to Fayetteville AR for a weekend run at George's Majestic Lounge tonight, November 22 and 23rd.

Always a musical playground for Kimock and his muse, Fayetteville performances are legendary among the Kimock faithful. This round of performances will bring yet another inspirational element to Kimock's diverse repertoire as he welcomes back musical co-conspirator and Tulsa native Reed Mathis on bass.

Also along for the ride is very special guest, funk legend and Rock-n-Roll Hall of Famer Bernie Worrell, (founding member P-Funk, Talking Heads), who has been touring internationally with Kimock for the past couple years. Rounding out the powerhouse line-up is prodigious drummer John Morgan Kimock and vocalist and guitarist Steve Pryor with surprise special guests.

Earning a solid reputation as a gifted guitarist with an inspiring approach to melodic improvisation, Kimock captivates audiences with his genre-bending, enlightened guitar speak and highly refined signature sounds from his arsenal of fretless, lap steel, acoustic and electric guitars. Today, the world of the "guitar monk" is a more adventurous place than ever --- in 2013 alone Kimock performed with acoustic Hot Tuna, Bob Weir's Ratdog, Keller Williams, the Allman Brothers, the Everyone Orchestra, jazz great Bill Evans, just to name a few. Not one to subscribe to limitations or labels, Kimock is a chameleon, adding his fluid style to an impressive array of musical genres, performing beyond expectations.

Kimock co-founded the quintessential Jazz/Rock band Zero in the 80's and kept it going with the most storied (but short-lived) Bay Area band of the 90s, KVHW. He has since toured with various Kimock projects and all-star line-ups. He is widely embraced by fans as one who carries the free-form torch of improvisation with his elevated guitar revelations. Bolstered by his association touring in numerous bands with Grateful Dead members (The Other Ones, Phil Lesh and Friends, Rhythm Devils, Ratdog Bruce Hornsby etc.), Kimock's name is forever entwined with psychedelic rock. After all, it was Jerry Garcia who put him on the map decades ago when he praised him as his "favorite unknown guitar player."

Steve Kimock and Friends has been a perennial side project of Kimock's since the 90's, enabling him to feature a revolving cast of notable characters, and this season Kimock is stretching boundaries with some of the best musicians on the scene.
