OUTLAW X
walked reluctantly into the A.R. Leak Funeral Home on
Band Director. The boy was sent there to pay his respects
to one Chester A. Burnett, AKA…“Howling Wolf”. Well
“The Wolf’s” musical spirit must have somehow touched
that boy, because today that young man is a world-
renowned musician, vocalist and the musical director for
“Maze featuring Frankie Beverly”. His name is Larry Kimpel
and the band that he helped to create is “Outlaw X”.
Founded in the summer of 2005, “Outlaw X” is an elixir of
Blues, Southern Rock and Traditional Country mixed
together to create a sound the guys call “Power Blues”.
The resulting mix is one of the most infectious and
genuine on the Roots Music Circuit today. In fact, if their
music was to be made into a Hollywood Movie the perfect
title for the film would be… “Robert Cray meets The
Allman Brothers!”
The Band’s Line-up consists of: Larry Kimpel / Chicago,
Illinois - Bass and Lead Vocals, Herman Matthews /
Houston, Texas – Drums Billy Steinway / Milwaukee,
Wisconsin – Keyboards, Piano, Organ, & Ricky “Z”
Zahariades / Fontana, California - Guitars, Vocals
After years of helping artists like Tom Jones, Luis Miguel,
Natalie Cole and Anita Baker sound the way they do to
their audiences, it was simply time for the “Outlaw X”
Sound to emerge. It’s a sound that flows deep from within
the heart of the band and it infects each listener with a
good sized dose of good old fashioned groovin’ happiness!
As to their live concert philosophy Lead Vocalist Larry
Kimpel says… “After playing with so many major artists
and watching them work and entertain, we wanted to
bring that same type of entertainment value to the Roots
Music Genre.” “Simply put, we have fun on stage!” “We
don’t take ourselves too seriously, and yet we bring first-
class musicianship to the table every single night!” “The
fans deserve only the best, and we feel that we bring that
kind of a quality product to them!”
The band’s debut CD “Out of the Box” (released in 2009)
has been receiving rave reviews and the guys are about to
sign a major distribution deal to get their music into the
hands of the roots music fans everywhere. It’s true…the
music industry and fans alike are about to be treated to
something truly special. Cause’ once the sound of “Outlaw
X” gets a hold of you… It’ll never let you go!
