Kimock

To kick things off with a band this year, the eminent Steve Kimock embarked on a new solo project. Anchored by a new album, Last Danger of Frost, Kimock is really stretching his imaginative legs this year and examining more closely his relationship with music. (The first four cuts on the new album are titled “Music Tells a Story” 1-4.) “There are other spaces and experiences music flows into, fills, and conforms to: family, nature, travel, quiet study and contemplation, imagination, to name a few. For me, the balance of the music has shifted to ‘other,’” Kimock says. It’s a contemplative little piece, and surely Kimock’s live show tonight will evoke the lessons he’s learned from his inner journeys. (Eric Sandy)
