  Steve Kimock - Biography - AOL Music
Steve Kimock is perhaps the quintessential Bay Area guitarist, playing in a variety of jazz-rock ensembles from the instrumental Zero to the post-Grateful Dead configurations of the Other Ones and Phil Lesh & Friends.
Kimock's long association with the Grateful Dead family began in 1979, when he joined Keith and Donna Jean Godchaux's short-lived Heart of Gold Band (which disbanded soon after Keith Godchaux died in an automobile accident).
Around this time, Kimock began to gig regularly with post-Dead configurations, such as the Other Ones (featuring most of the surviving members of the band) in the summers of 1998 and 2000, as well as some of bassist Phil Lesh's projects, through 1999.

The Steve Kimock Band--with guitarist Mitch Stein, bassist Arne Livingston, and drummer Rodney Holmes--perform April 13 at the Mystic Theatre in Petaluma.
Kimock's new bicoastal band, which released the live recording East Meets West a couple of months ago, finds the guitarist continuing to mature as a player, exploring odd time signatures and stretching out in freewheeling, improvisational solos that showcase his fat-toned phrases without a trace of the overindulgence that often dogs the fusion genre.
