Blue Mountain Artists, LLC
Welcomes ZERO Steve Kimock, Greg Anton, Martin Fierro, Donna Jean Godchaux, Melvin Seals, John Morgan Kimock and Liam Hanrahan
Zero is very probably the first of the post-Dead
improvisational “jam bands"
 Initially an instrumental band, which would over the next 20 or so years lay a
heavy improvisational groove on the Bay Area and more distant parts -- to the
tune of 1300 shows, eight albums, and visits from the likes of Jerry Garcia,
John Cipollina, Banana, Alex Ligertwood, Nicky Hopkins, Derek Trucks, Merl
Saunders, and John Kahn.
Into the life of every band a little rain must fall, and
Zero fell silent for a time.
But in the past year they’ve revived, and after six
years, they've returned to play exclusive dates throughout
2006.
The reformed band features the stellar line-up of
Steve Kimock and Greg Anton, with "Meester" Martin Fierro, Donna Jean Godchaux,
Melvin Seals, Liam Hanrahan, & seventeen year old Kimock offspring, up and
coming Rockstar drummer, John Morgan Kimock.
And
who knows what old friends will drop by on any particular night?
In any case, the Zero mix of Kimock's sonic jams, Robert
Hunter songs, along with tasty covers -- all complimented by a old friends and
young blood will once more caress the minds of live music crowds – and that’s
not to be missed.
"ZERO consciousness returns with props for the audience, respect for the lineage, and love for our brothers and sisters," remarked Steve Kimock. "Dust off those rusty strings just one more time, relax, participate, enjoy, and in the words of John Cipollina, 'thanks for letting us pee in your pool.' " |
