SUMMARY:Open AIR "We Know This Forest" 3-Day Workshop with Candace Carlock at Traveler's Rest State Park
DESCRIPTION:RSVP to attend Open AIR’s 3-day April Workshop Series “We Know This Forest” let by Candace Garlock at Traveler’s Rest State Park in Lolo 10:00 am to 3:00 pm Mondays April 13\, April 20 and April 27\n\n\n\n\n\nWE KNOW THIS FOREST\, led by Open AIR Spring artist-in-residence and educator Candace Garlock\, is a community-based art project that uses the metaphor of a dense\, shifting forest to explore the nonlinear\, often unpredictable experience of living with chronic conditions and disability. It creates space for participants to share stories\, images\, and reflections that honor both the difficulty and resilience found in these lived landscapes while exploring shared ecological memory and identity through collaborative woodcut and casting workshops. While the project invites people with chronic conditions and disabilities to engage\, participation does not require disclosing any diagnosis\, disability status\, or health information unless they personally choose to share it.For more information about this national project\, visit www.weknowthisforest.com. \n\n\n\nThis workshop meets on 3 consecutive Mondays\, and we hope to work with a consistent group of 5-8 individuals. Lunch will be provided. \n\n\n\nFree Registration Required. RSVP REGISTRATION LINK

SUMMARY:Kitchen Dwellers with Madeline Hawthorne at Wachholz College Center
DESCRIPTION:Kitchen Dwellers play a live show with Madeline Hawthorne opening at 7:30 pm Thursday\, April 23 at Wachholz College Center on the FVCC campus in Kalispell\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors @ 6:30 pm \n\n\n\nKitchen 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. The Bozeman-born quartet of Shawn Swain (mandolin)\, Torrin Daniels (banjo)\, Joe Funk (upright bass)\, and Max Davies (acoustic guitar) 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. \n\n\n\nIn 2024\, Kitchen Dwellers released their latest full-length studio album\, Seven Devils\, which arrived on March 1 and debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Bluegrass Albums chart. The record expanded the band’s creative reach and reinforced their place at the forefront of progressive roots and bluegrass. \n\n\n\nThe band’s newest release\, The Katabatic EP\, highlights another side of their creative arc. Recorded in late November 2021 at Mighty Fine Studios in Denver and Peach Street Studios in Bozeman\, the three-song EP captures a vivid snapshot of wintertime inspiration in Montana. Rooted in sweeping landscapes and natural contrasts\, the EP blends mythic lyricism\, atmospheric instrumental interplay\, and a progressive blend of bluegrass\, folk\, and americana that has become the group’s signature. \n\n\n\nThe song “Madison” tells the story of a mystified angler on the Madison River\, drawing parallels between love and the unpredictable rhythms of fishing. The instrumentals “Mimas and Ida” and “Katabatic” broaden the sonic palette with guest trumpeter Eric “Benny” Bloom of Lettuce\, whose brass textures add lift\, spark\, and momentum. Shifting grooves\, evolving tempos\, and evocative melodies evoke mountain valleys\, windswept terrain\, and orbiting moons. The EP was produced by Kitchen Dwellers\, mixed by Stephan Gueguen and Max Davies\, and mastered by Stephan Gueguen. \n\n\n\nKitchen Dwellers have continued to earn national attention through consistent touring\, acclaimed studio work\, and an expanding grassroots following. Their studio album discography includes Ghost in the Bottle (2017)\, Muir Maid (2019)\, Wise River (2022)\, and Seven Devils (2024). Collectively\, these releases have amassed more than 15 million streams across platforms\, with recent NOCO releases accounting for more than 8 million. \n\n\n\nTheir vibrant live show has taken them to major festivals and iconic stages across the country. The band has performed at Bonnaroo Music Festival\, Telluride Bluegrass\, Under The Big Sky\, WinterWonderGrass\, Northwest String Summit\, and more. They have also achieved career milestones by headlining Red Rocks Amphitheatre and headlining the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.  Along the way\, Kitchen Dwellers have received praise from outlets such as Bluegrass Today\, Huffington Post\, Relix\, American Songwriter\, and additional national publications. \n\n\n\nKitchen Dwellers continue to evolve while staying rooted in the landscapes and creative curiosity that shaped them. With Seven Devils marking a major milestone and The Katabatic EP offering a distilled burst of artistic expression\, the band remains committed to pushing the boundaries of modern bluegrass and exploring new musical terrain. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Madeline HawthorneThe miles we travel make up the stories we tell.  The soles of your favorite boots or the tread on your prized car’s tires soak up the experiences and wisdom of the road under your feet. Born in New England\, based in Bozeman Montana\, singer\, songwriter\, and multi-instrumentalist Madeline Hawthorne pens the kind of tunes you listen to on a cross-country trek to start anew or in the dead of night when you just need a reminder that somebody’s listening.  In this respect\, her 2024 independent album\, Tales From Late Nights & Long Drives\, serves as a fitting soundtrack to life’s trip. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPURCHASE TICKETS LINK \n\n\n\n**PLEASE NOTE**  THIS SHOW FEATURES GENERAL ADMISSION SEATING / STANDING ON MAIN FLOOR OF McCLAREN HALL WITH RESERVED SEATING IN THE BALCONY.Standard ticket prices start at $39.00\, inclusive of all fees. $1.00 from every ticket sold goes to charity BACKLINE .This show is presented by WCC.  No outside food or beverages allowed in Wachholz College Center.Recommended age limit 10+

SUMMARY:Kitchen Dwellers (Night 1) at The Top Hat
DESCRIPTION:Logjam Presents welcomes Kitchen Dwellers for a live (Night 1) performance at The Top Hat in Downtown Missoula at 10:30 pm Friday\, April 24.\n\n\n\n\n\nLogjam Presents welcomes Kitchen Dwellers for a live performance at The Top Hat in Downtown Missoula at 10:30 pm Friday\, April 24. \n\n\n\nTickets on sale at Logjam Presents Box Offices and online while supplies last. All tickets are general admission standing room only with limited bench seating. All ages are welcome. \n\n\n\nTake a look at these tips to best prepare yourself for a smooth ticket buying experience. \n\n\n\nAdditional ticketing and venue information can be found here. \n\n\n\n\n\n** Tickets for the Top Hat performance on Friday\, April 24\, 2026 are only available by purchasing a Two Night Pass.Individual tickets for the Top Hat performance cannot be purchased. ** \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Kitchen DwellersIn Dante’s Inferno\, the author grapples with sin\, its various manifestations\, and its consequences. This time ultimately traces a trajectory of self-realization\, acceptance\, and accountability. Kitchen Dwellers embark on a similar odyssey over the course of their fourth full-length offering\, Seven Devils. The Montana quartet—Shawn Swain [Mandolin]\, Torrin Daniels [Banjo]\, Joe Funk [Upright Bass]\, and Max Davies [Acoustic Guitar]—thread together an immersive and inimitable conceptual arc inspired by Dante’s Inferno and set to a soundtrack of folk-infused bluegrass spiked with psychedelic vision and rock energy.  \n\n\n\nContinuing their own journey as brothers\, they deliver their most ambitious and anthemic body of work yet. \n\n\n\n“These tunes deal with the human experience\, and Torrin initially drew a parallel between the music and Dante\,” Max states. “We explored the connection by correlating each song with a sin. Some of these connections are only apparent if you dive deep into the lyrics. Our goal is to essentially take the listener through our own interpretation of the Inferno story.”  \n\n\n\n“We didn’t go into the studio with the intent of making a concept album\,” recalls Torrin. “I was driving around listening to everything\, and I noticed these parallels. To dive deeper\, we’re discussing topics like mental health\, the human condition\, and what we go through on the road. In life and music\, everything is recurring and universal. I was reading Dante at the time\, and it naturally fit.” \n\n\n\nIt proved to be a logical next step as well… \n\n\n\nThus far\, Kitchen Dwellers have engaged and enraptured listeners with albums such as Ghost In The Bottle [2017]\, Muir Maid [2019]\, Live from the Wilma [2021]\, and Wise River [2022]. Of the latter\, Holler. praised how “Kitchen Dwellers have preserved their sense of youthful experimentation\,” and Relix proclaimed\, “The songs on the new record build on this range\, while also reflecting on the group’s Bozeman\, Montana home.” Between tallying millions of streams\, the band ignited hallowed venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre and graced the bills of Telluride Bluegrass\, Northwest String Summit\,  WinterWonderGrass\, and beyond.  \n\n\n\nIn order to bring Seven Devils to life\, the musicians opted to work with producer Glenn Brown. It would not only mark their first time collaborating with the producer\, but it also would be the first time they decamped to Michigan in order to record. \n\n\n\n“The studio itself definitely impacted the vibe\,” Torrin notes. “It’s a tiny workspace\, but it’s full of old recording equipment with legendary stories attached to it. For almost the entire time\, we were forced to congregate in this room together. The process was ever-evolving\, because ideas kept flowing.” \n\n\n\nFittingly\, “Seven Devils (Limbo)” opens the album and serves as the first single. Nimbly picked banjo and upbeat acoustic guitar set the pace as the regretful chorus bemoans\, “Am I supposed to hop the next train? Or stand here drowning in the Oregon rain?” A guitar-driven bridge dips in and out of effects-laden echoes and stark strumming. Coming full circle\, a ten-minute version of “Seven Devils” later bookends the record with an epic finale. \n\n\n\n“I incorporated some elements of grunge in terms of the chords\, which are a little dissonant\,” Torrin elaborates. “Thematically\, it’s the descent into Hell. First\, Dante goes through limbo before reaching any of the circles where the cardinal sins are addressed. ‘Seven Devils’  evokes the feeling of being in limbo.” \n\n\n\n“It also signifies you’re embarking on some type of journey\,” Max agrees. “By the end of the LP\, you know the protagonist isn’t going to be the same person.” \n\n\n\nThen\, there’s “The Crow and The Raven (III).” The track’s emotionally charged vocals seesaw on top of strings in a moment of terse reflection. “I went through a horrible breakup in 2018 when I wrote the first version\,” Shawn remembers. “‘The Crow and The Raven (III)’ sat in my notebook for a half-decade before we revamped it. Now\, it’s a sad\, slower lament about enduring the loss of a relationship.” \n\n\n\n“Pendulum” rushes towards a mournful refrain offset by a plucky crescendo. “It’s about dealing with an addiction in your life and how it affects relationships\,” Joe says. “People often trade one addiction for another\, whether positive or detrimental to their life\, as a means to satisfy their baseline addictive tendencies.” \n\n\n\nOn the other end of the spectrum\, “Here We Go (VI)” laments the epidemic of shootings in America with unfiltered frustration projected through a powerful ebb and flow punctuated by a cameo from Lindsay Lou. \n\n\n\n“I was riding a Greyhound from Seattle to Missoula in 2012\,” Max goes on. “There had just been another school shooting. It’s terrible to think of how many shootings have happened since. Why is this happening? The chorus shifts gears to miscommunication between two parties in a relationship. Those are the two driving forces.” \n\n\n\nAn electric guitar lead heralds the onset of “Unwind (Paradiso)\,” building towards one climactic moment of catharsis. \n\n\n\n“A psychedelic experience and life-changing ego death changed my outlook on many things\,” Torrin admits. “‘Unwind (Paradiso)’ was one of those moments where you surrender and let it take you. You’re letting go of the human things in your brain that make you want to fight or cause you to be afraid. It also came together in the studio as a band\, which was super cool.” \n\n\n\nIn the end\, Kitchen Dwellers may just leave you changed with Seven Devils. \n\n\n\n“The record is a trip inward within the self\,” Torrin concludes. “It tackles a lot of things in the world people try not to think about. The reality is we’re only truly happy when happiness comes from within. That’s the message.”

Now\, it’s a sad\, slower lament about enduring the loss of a relationship.” \n\n\n\n“Pendulum” rushes towards a mournful refrain offset by a plucky crescendo. “It’s about dealing with an addiction in your life and how it affects relationships\,” Joe says. “People often trade one addiction for another\, whether positive or detrimental to their life\, as a means to satisfy their baseline addictive tendencies.” \n\n\n\nOn the other end of the spectrum\, “Here We Go (VI)” laments the epidemic of shootings in America with unfiltered frustration projected through a powerful ebb and flow punctuated by a cameo from Lindsay Lou. \n\n\n\n“I was riding a Greyhound from Seattle to Missoula in 2012\,” Max goes on. “There had just been another school shooting. It’s terrible to think of how many shootings have happened since. Why is this happening? The chorus shifts gears to miscommunication between two parties in a relationship. Those are the two driving forces.” \n\n\n\nAn electric guitar lead heralds the onset of “Unwind (Paradiso)\,” building towards one climactic moment of catharsis. \n\n\n\n“A psychedelic experience and life-changing ego death changed my outlook on many things\,” Torrin admits. “‘Unwind (Paradiso)’ was one of those moments where you surrender and let it take you. You’re letting go of the human things in your brain that make you want to fight or cause you to be afraid. It also came together in the studio as a band\, which was super cool.” \n\n\n\nIn the end\, Kitchen Dwellers may just leave you changed with Seven Devils. \n\n\n\n“The record is a trip inward within the self\,” Torrin concludes. “It tackles a lot of things in the world people try not to think about. The reality is we’re only truly happy when happiness comes from within. That’s the message.”
