On this day prior to the 4th of July, I got to interview two of the current members of the last iteration of Savoy Brown. Founder Kim Simmonds passed away on Dec. 13, 2022 after a lengthy battle with colon cancer. Bassist Pat DeSalvo and Drummer Garnet Grimm joined me for a long conversation about their relationship with Kim, the making of the final album Blues All Around which came out in Feb. 2023, and what they were going to do next.
