Bozeman Magazine

It was in Bozeman, Montana that our Kitchen Dwellers first discovered a constant source of musical inspiration near the kitchen, with bluegrass music, and each other. From those free form kitchen picking sessions, their very own chief recipe of a bluegrass style was created. Over the course of their 4 year career the Dwellers have been honored to open for some of their very own musical heroes: Railroad Earth, Greensky Bluegrass, Head for the Hills, Horseshoes and Handgrenades, just to name a few. And as ambitious as it was daring, the band set to dedicating a greater portion of 2013 and 2014 to hitting the road.  They were honored to be welcomed at the very own Delfest in Cumberland, Maryland, took second place at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival’s band competition and was selected as a finalist at the North West String Summit band competition at Hornings Hideout in North Plains, Oregon all in the summer of 2014.  All this work and travel over the course of the last  four years has developed a diverse fan base (some may even be so bold as to coin themselves  “dishwashers.”)  These enthusiastic fans, friends and now family have followed the Dwellers’ as they have set off across the country performing at all sorts of venues and theatres, such as: The Mishawaka and Oriental theatres in Colorado, The Tonic Room in Chicago, The Cabooze in Minneapolis, The Emerson Ballroom of Bozeman Mt, and The Top Hat in Missoula. Not mentioning all the amazing bars and other various venues not mentioned that made these tours possible.  The Kitchen Dwellers currently reside in Bozeman, Mt and consist of: Torrin Daniels on Banjo and Vocals. Max Davies on acoustic guitar. Jesse Butler on Fiddle. Joe Funk on Bass and Vocals and Shawn Swain on Mandolin. Altogether, the Kitchen Dwellers bring their acoustical picking and songwriting to the stage with electrically manipulated textures guaranteed to impress.      Tickets are available at 1111presents.com, Cactus Records (29 West Main Street), or by calling (877) 987- 6487.
