Eight Gigs: Kimock

Sun., Mar. 6, 8 p.m., Center For The Arts, $27-$32

Fans of the Grateful Dead and its many side projects already know guitarist Steve Kimock for his work with the Other Ones, Bob Weir’s RatDog, and his own group Zero. This particular show pairs him with his son John Morgan Kimock, an equally thought-provoking drummer and composer. They’ll play selections from his latest, Last Danger of Frost, joined by Bobby Vega on bass in addition to guest vocalist Leslie Mendelson. Expect a night of heady musical fare that showcases Steve Kimock’s love for defying the laws of musical tradition. 314 West Main Street in Grass Valley, www.kimock.com.
