Description:
Gillie's Late Night welcomes the Rob Hornfeck Trio along with opening act Kevin So from Keb Mo! to the stage.

Arriving in 2001, The Rob Hornfeck Enterprise (RHE) has gone beyond its five-year mission to explore strange new grooves and seek out new riffs and melodies, boldly going where no band has gone before. Sightings have been reported along the east coast of the United States, particularly in the Washington DC metropolitan area.

All reports describe a man-like creature claiming to be "The Captain" armed with only a guitar that emits sonic blasts that cover all human emotions. The creature possesses no supernatural powers, but has been seen donning a cape and trying to defy gravity. After encountering Captain Hornfeck and his conspirators, witnesses recall unwittingly nodding thier head with the band's rhythmic pulse, and leaving the scene with a warm, fuzzy feeling.

Kevin So has earned the respect of Keb’ Mo’, Billy Bragg and Tony Award-winning playwright David Henry Hwang, and has built a loyal fan base around the world for the past 16 years, opening for artists such as Joe Cocker, Randy Newman and Little Richard. He has performed on the main stage at several folk/blues festivals across the US, and more recently appeared with Keb’ Mo’ at Carnegie Hall and The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.

Kevin was also proud recipient of the 2007 New York Fringe Festival Award (Best Music & Lyrics) for “Great Wall” – a musical loosely based on his life and times. His songs have been recorded by Keb’ Mo’ (“Crush On You”, “Talk”), Shemekia Copeland (“Sounds Like The Devil”) and Big Wide Grin (“Individual”). He is blues, folk & soul in its finest blend.
