Live 5 - April 10, 2024.

Amongst the jam bands that seem like they are always on the road are The Kitchen Dwellers. The Montana based quartet are part bluegrass or even jamgrass and part psychedelia. Their unique sound and that constant touring ethos has created quite a story to unpack. The Kitchen Dwellers released their fourth studio album “Seven Devils” a few weeks back, which gave a reason to catch up with Joe Funk, the band’s upright bass player. 



First song: Seven Devils (Limbo)

Second song: Pendulum (V)
