Walker Hornung, a cornerstone of New York City's vibrant music scene, has spent over three decades crafting a distinct and genre-defying sound. Emerging in the late 1990s with the band Q-South, Walker introduced a groundbreaking fusion of rock and flamenco. Their self-titled debut album Q-South (1997) became a cult classic, capturing the raw energy and multicultural pulse of NYC through electrifying performances at iconic venues like CBGB's.Venturing beyond traditional rock, Walker explored the rich tapestry of Caribbean music, collaborating with Soca legends like Machel Montano, Alison Hinds, The Caribbean Queen, and Bunji Garlin. His 1998 duet "With or Without You" and its B-side "The Sky is Falling" are widely regarded as pioneering works in the Soca/Rock crossover genre.In the early 2000s, Walker formed The Brotherhood of the Grape, a soulful, roots-rock collective known for its raw storytelling and evocative sound.
