Steve Kimock is touring in 2012 for the first time in many years. Beginning in early May,  joining Steve will be  Bernie Worrell on keys (Parliament Funkadelic, Talking Heads), drummer Wally Ingram (Sheryl Crow, David Lindley), and bassists Andy Hess (Gov’t Mule, Black Crowes) and Reed Mathis (Tea Leaf Green, SKB).

The second portion of  the taped interview is being transcribed and to be published with photo recap article of next Saturday 12 May 2012 show in Portland, ME.
