Kitchen Dwellers in the Garage
Experience an electrifying night with Kitchen Dwellers, the Montana bluegrass quartet bringing their psychedelic-infused folk energy to an intimate garage gig! Doors open at 7:00 PM, show kicks off at 8:00 PM—perfect for diving into their ambitious concept album Seven Devils.
Inspired by Dante's Inferno, this fourth full-length album embarks on a raw odyssey through sin, self-realization, and the human condition. Tracks like 'Seven Devils (Limbo)' pulse with furious banjo and guitar, evoking limbo's regret; 'The Crow and The Raven (III)' laments heartbreak with soaring strings; and 'Pendulum' swings through addiction's grip. Featuring cameos from Lindsay Lou, it's a blend of traditional bluegrass, galaxy grass jams, and rock edge—exploring pride, greed, lust, and more in epic anthems that leave you transformed.
Shawn Swain on mandolin, Torrin Daniels on banjo, Joe Funk on upright bass, and Max Davies on acoustic guitar deliver breakneck passion that's been compared to 'metalgrass.' Past triumphs at Red Rocks and Telluride Bluegrass make this garage show an unmissable, soul-shaking adventure!
