About Kitchen Dwellers

Kitchen Dwellers electrify the bluegrass scene with their high-octane fusion of traditional roots and improvisational jams, channeling raw energy that turns every show into an unforgettable dance party. Hailing from Bozeman, Montana, the quartet—Joe Funk on banjo, Shawn Swain on mandolin, Matt McKinley on guitar, and Kyle Shelstad on bass—delivers a sound rich in soaring harmonies, lightning-fast picking, and playful storytelling that resonates deeply with fans. Standout achievements include their acclaimed albums ‘Goodbyes and Goings Up’ and ‘Mules,’ plus collaborations with trailblazers like Billy Strings, while past performances at festivals such as Telluride Bluegrass, High Sierra Music Festival, and Red Rocks Amphitheatre showcase their ability to command massive crowds with infectious enthusiasm and seamless musical chemistry.
