Walker Hornung- Walker, along with the band Q-South, got his start introducing New York City to a new sound: rock attacked by flamenco guitars. His songwriting in Q-South created the timeless 1997 self-titled release Q-South(Time Square Records), Walker also wrote and fronted the music for The Brotherhood of the Grape 4 full length albums(Into the Whip Records) the music along with a string of unforgettable performances across Manhattan and the wider U.S.solidified him as a true New York treasure. His search for different styles led him to collaborations with Soca sensations Machel Montano, Alison Hinds, and Bunji Garlin, and the Caribbean provided a brand new garden for Walker's blend of rock and soca to take root. After Rockstock Walker will be appearing at The Theater at Jones Beach July 8th 2012
