Smokin’ Joe Kubek

Smokin’ Joe Kubek is one of those people who was bo rn to play the guitar. Kubek has the technique and the chops to burn up any stage and has been doing so for the past 29 years. A guitar prodigy at the age of 14 the Texas born guitar slinger frequented the Dallas bar scene during the 1970’s and early 80’s playing with Stevie Ray Vaughan and people like the three Kings, B. B., Albert and Freddie. He was even ready to go on tour with Freddie King before his death.

Kubek didn’t hit his stride, however, until he team ed up with jazz guitarist Bnois King 10 years ago. Kubek, with his staggering arsenal of instruments, effects and technique, delivers a frenzied, flame-throwing guitar display that is tempered by the remarkable accompaniment of Bnois King’s jazz influenced guitar. Kubek, coming from the blazing Texas blues/rock background, found in Bnois King’s smooth jazz guitar stylings a finesse and fat chord sound that was a perfect complement to his technique. The combination just clicked with a seamless mesh of styles.
