Description

Knuf with Special Guest Jesse Jennings on Keys Crazy Horse Presents Ages 21+ Knuf is always pushing the boundaries of funky jam-rock injected with soul galore. Special guest Jesse Jennings launches them even further. Not far from where gold was first discovered in the Sierra Foothills, a band calling itself Knuf has emerged with similarly auspicious tidings. When they hit the stage, they attack each moment with laser-focused intensity. Influences from certain legendary jambands are evident, yet they are committed to applying their own strokes to the canvas. Tasty improv jams are led by liquid guitar and propelled by a forceful rhythm section. If only dancing was always this easy. There is no shortage of bands that can jam, but Knuf sets itself apart with a remarkable vocal presence led by guitarist Matt Gillies. The man is oozing with soul and swagger. He can suddenly shift into Motown mode and leave you with your jaw on the floor. Lately their vocal presence is even stronger with the addition of Cidney Kay. It seems that every time the band returns to the Crazy Horse, they are intent on making a new statement on the direction of their sound. Last time they embraced their true identity as a jamband with a complex, muti-layered approach which firmly planted them in the mid-tier status among some of the country’s hottest names (at least as far as we’re concerned). On this occasion they appear poised to take that one step further as they will be joined by the ultimate intrepid jam traveler himself – Jesse Jennings on keys (Jambassadors). Every show is a sonic odyssey as far as Jesse is concerned and the soundscape Knuf provides will offer an expansive palette for him to draw his intergalactic lines.
