Kitchen Dwellers to Headline The Wilma
Gator up! Montana’s galaxygrass wizards, Kitchen Dwellers, will return to Missoula for their first headlining performance at The Wilma on Saturday, September 24, 2022.
If you’re at all familiar with Montana-made music, then you’re almost guaranteed to have heard of the Kitchen Dwellers. The jamgrass quartet is one of a handful of Montana bands that have been successful enough in the past decade to tour across the country, release impressive studio albums and work with prominent industry professionals. The band’s 3rd full-length studio album, Wise River, will be released on April 29th.
Over the years, Montana concertgoers have enjoyed watching the Kitchen Dwellers perform at The Wilma, the Top Hat, Rialto and The ELM. This however, will be the first time that the band plays their own headlining show at The Wilma and we know they’re going to bust out all the bells and whistles for this one!

About Kitchen Dwellers
Among the many natural wonders in Montana, Wise River runs for about 30 miles through the Southwestern region of the state, cutting through the mountains and flowing into the Big Hole River. Beyond being a favorite spot for fly fishermen, it remains etched into the topography of the land itself. Two hours away in Bozeman, Kitchen Dwellers equally embody the spirit and soul of their home with a sonic palette as expansive as Montana’s vistas. The quartet — Shawn Swain [Mandolin], Torrin Daniels [banjo], Joe Funk [upright bass], and Max Davies [acoustic guitar] — twist bluegrass, folk, and rock through a kaleidoscope of homegrown stories, rich mythology, American west wanderlust, and psychedelic hues. After amassing 5 million-plus streams, selling out shows, and receiving acclaim from Huffington Post, Relix, American Songwriter, and more, the group brings audiences back to Big Sky Country on their third full-length album, Wise River, working with Cory Wong of Vulfpeck as producer.
“Since we weren’t on the road due to COVID-19, the music we wrote was different,” Max reveals. “It was more introspective. There were a lot of ties to Montana.”
“For the first time, we were all home for 365 days in a row, which hasn’t happened in ten years,” adds Shawn. “We were thinking of the quieter lifestyle encapsulated in the area. That comes through.”
“In the past, our songs would touch on the physical aspects of the state or reference its history and nature,” says Torrin. “These songs are more introspective, because they come from the perspective of actually being in one place. The vibe is a little more serious — given the weirdness of the past year and the shit everyone has been dealing with. Our little corner of the world has always delt with hard winters, but the whole world felt it in 2020.” Continue reading…
