Steve Kimock kicked off his weekly residency at New York’s Sullivan Hall last night. The show’s core band consisted of Kimock, keyboardist Henry Butler, bassist Andy Hess and drummer John Morgan Kimock. After opening his show with “Nana’s Chalk Pipe,” Kimock invited out his onetime Zero/Heart of Gold Band collaborator Donna Jean Godchaux for “Watchin’ the River Flow.” The Grateful Dead singer remained onstage for “Crazy Fingers,” “Scarlet Begonias,” “Eyes of the World” and “Franklins’ Tower.” The latter three songs of the set also featured Dead On guitarist/vocalist Matt Muller. Given the evening’s guests, the show featured one of Kimock’s more Dead-heavy solo set lists.

Band of Brotherz/Alphabet Soup vocalist Chris Burger also emerged during the ensemble’s second set to rap on “All Together Now.” Kimock’s Sullivan Hall residency will continue Wednesday night with special guests Marco Benevento, Lettuce’s Adam Deitch and The Slip’s Marc Friedman.
