Kim Salmon’s Haunted Grooves

Kim Salmon has his share of ghosts lurking within his career.

Scientists drummer Brett Rixon, STM double bass player Andrew Entch, Chicago native, Phillip Hertz, ex wife and one time Scientists manager Linda Fearon, Lowbrow auteur and drummer Nick Combe and ofcourse – Brian Henry Hooper, Spencer P Jones and Tony Pola …

They all managed to have their life story intersect Kim’s and those intersections have created a significant effect on Kim’s story.

Haunted Grooves is Kim’s telling of some of the stories left to him by people he’s collaborated with who are no longer around to tell them.

With long-time collaborator Doug Galbraith and a Boss RC 1 loop pedal, Kim resurrects some of those no longer lost, but still very much haunted grooves!
