Roger Kunkel, in the studio on Listening Lyrics, April 11, 2025

Fri, 04/11/2025 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

R. Kunkel.jpeg

Here Comes The Space Cow is more than just a new LP — it’s the sound of four musicians overflowing with talent but also bound by something deeper. This group plays like they were born to find each other, blending jazz grooves with just the right dash of funk. It’s tight, soulful, and polished in the way only seasoned artists can pull off. Roger Kunkel (in photo) stopped by the studio to give us a taste, spinning a few tracks and gracing us with a couple of mesmerizing live performances on guitar. It was pure magic.

Roger Kunkel -- Guitar, vocals.   Stoo Odom --  Stand up bass, vocals.   Bart VanDer Zeuuw -- Drums.   Max Hart -- Hammond organ, pedal steel guitar.
