Bill Kreutzmann can barely contain his enthusiasm for 7 Walkers, the former Grateful Dead drummer’s new band with guitarist / vocalist Papa Mali, legendary New Orleans bassist George Porter Jr., and multi-instrumentalist Matt Hubbard. “I can’t believe how much fun I’m having playing with these guys!” says Kreutzmann, who never missed a gig in the Dead’s 30 years together. “We’re making art together and having the best time.” Quimby Mountain Band is a team of 5 true dudes who love to rock. Their tunes sound like backwoods American straight-up whiskey rock, with hints of cool blues, nasty funk, edgy riffs, and loads of heart. This is honest and down to earth rock that isn’t too in your face when it’s hitting you hard and isn’t too boring when it’s a slower tune. This band is unique enough to distinguish itself from the run-of-the-mill “jam band” sound, but without alienating itself from that type of fanbase or general feel, and being close enough to earn themselves airtime on Sirius XM Jam Station. These talented but modest young men are well known for their superior musicianship, loyal fanbase, and energetic shows. The band is from the farmlands of northwestern NJ, but no stranger to the south, and has established themselves as the band to go see live when given the opportunity. Meet some fans at the first show, and you’re likely to see them the next.
