Kitchen Dwellers Surprise Fans With The Katabatic EP

Montana’s Kitchen Dwellers Share Surprise Three-Song EP “The Katabatic” – out now

Kitchen Dwellers, the Bozeman-born quartet of Shawn Swain (mandolin), Torrin Daniels (banjo), Joe Funk (upright bass), and Max Davies (acoustic guitar) surprise fans with The Katabatic EP (No Coincidence Records), a new three-song project recorded in late 2021 and featuring guest trumpeter Eric “Benny” Bloom of Lettuce.

Kitchen Dwellers continue to carve out their own lane in the world of progressive roots music, blending bluegrass, folk, and psychedelic grit into a sound as expansive as their Montana home. Over the last several years, the band has grown from regional upstarts into one of the most dynamic and forward-thinking bands in modern string music. Their catalog pairs instrumental virtuosity with emotional storytelling, an exploratory spirit, and a deep connection to the American West.

“We are excited to share The Katabatic EP. These songs are a snapshot of late November 2021. The four of us went into the studio just after Thanksgiving to lay down some tracks. We had recorded Wise River earlier that year and had yet to begin work on Seven Devils, but we had some ideas we wanted to capture. The three-song EP covers a lot of ground in a short sprint,” says Max Davies. “The source of the inspiration for these songs can be found in Montana where we were spending some downtime before the holidays,” he continues. “There’s a juxtaposition in these songs, just like the weather and geography in Montana, or the styles of the four friends who created this small collection of music.”

Kitchen Dwellers will play Portland, OR on Dec 30 and 31 to ring in the New Year, before setting out on tour early 2026 including multi-night runs in Denver, Bozeman, Salt Lake City and Charleston.
