Kitchen Dwellers
Water Tower
8:30pm
$26
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.
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.
In 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.
The 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.

An Evening with Dizgo
HotFoot
8:30pm
$20/25
Born from attic jam sessions between childhood friends Andrew Pickel and Kevin Hinnefeld, Dizgo\'s story began with two guitars, a tape recorder, and a dream -literally. The band\'s name came to Hinnefeld in a dream, before their first gig, reflecting the cosmic, boundary-breaking sound they\'d soon deliver. Later joined by Jake Evatt on keys/vocals and Justin Clark on drums, the Bloomington-based quartet has since evolved into one of the country\'s premiere touring acts.Critics have called Dizgo \"one of the most operative names in the jam band scene\" and \"Indiana\'s psychedelic powerhouse,\" blending the adventurous spirit of jamtronica with the deep-pocket pulse of funk, the warmth of soul, explosive guitar, and the kaleidoscopic textures of psychedelic rock. Their live shows are immersive journeys -a dance party and mind-trip rolled into one. Interweaving soulful vocals, analog synths, and searing guitar complete with intricate compositions and extended improvisation. The result is something both danceable and introspective: a dance floor where heads and hearts move in equal measure.Dizgo\'s touring resume reads like a true music lover\'s bucket list -standout sets at Peach Music Festival, Summer Camp, Secret Dreams, Domefest and Sonic Bloom, alongside club and amphitheater performances supporting Goose, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, lespecial, Dogs in a Pile, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, and more. Their 2024 studio album \"Melt\" crystallized their ethos: when everything locks in, the band and the fans \"melt into one collective unit,\" channeling energy between themselves and the crowd in a feedback loop of groove.From your local venue to the biggest festival stage, Dizgo creates a communal experience -one where genre is merely a suggestion, the band andthe fans are a living organism, and every note is a step further down the rabbit hole.

Bikini Trill
Jon Wiilde
8:30pm
$20
Bikini Trill is a surf-pop trio based in Los Angeles, CA, known for an eclectic sound that seamlessly blends indie rock, hip-hop, and reggae. Led by vocalist Lauren \"LJ\" Johnson, guitarist Tony Barker Stern and bassist Roach, the band has carved out a distinct lane in Southern California\'s vibrant music scene.
Originally hailing from San Antonio and Boerne, Texas, the trio\'s roots run deep. Tony and Roach attended high school together, but didn\'t truly connect until relocating to Austin, TX. Meanwhile, LJ attended Texas State University in San Marcos, where she served as program director at KTSW 89.9, organized the local festival Mr. Fest, and managed Tony and Roach\'s band--booking shows across the city. When that project dissolved, Roach was the first to move to Los Angeles, landing a job at Larrabee Studios. Tony and LJ frequently visited, inspired by his experiences in LA. LJ soon followed, with Tony not far behind. Once reunited in Los Angeles, the trio began jamming organically--and Bikini Trill was born.
