Kitchen Dwellers cleaned out their archives on Friday by uploading a cache of covers to YouTube and Facebook. The Bozeman-bred slamgrass outfit shared takes on classic songs by John Prine, The Allman Brothers Band, The Infamous Stringdusters, and even Blink-182.
Several of the pro-shot live videos come from the band’s recently completed Galaxy Grass x Cosmic Country joint tour with Daniel Donato. One of the clips shows the rising Cosmic Country guitarist joining Kitchen Dwellers on the ABB classic “In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed” at Terminal West in Atlanta on October 14th. More special guests abound in the slew of new Dwellers videos, with the group welcoming mandolinist Jesse Iaquinto and resonator guitarist Tommy Maher of Fireside Collective for a cover of The Infamous Stringdusters‘ “No More To Leave You Behind” at Salvage Station in the Collective’s hometown of Asheville, NC on October 13th.
The band also looked back on its Halloween show at Columbus, OH’s Woodlands Tavern, where the Galaxy Grass x Cosmic Country theme came full circle for a take on Blink-182’s “Aliens Exist”. Kitchen Dwellers even acknowledged the pop-punk powerhouse’s recent reunion with Tom DeLong (as well as the inflated prices for Blink’s reunion tour) on Facebook, writing, “Tickets for our west coast tour with Lindsay Lou in February are on sale now! And they’re much cheaper than Blink 182 tour We believe in Tom Delonge – here’s ‘Aliens Exist’ from 10/31 in Columbus, OH”.

Finally, Kitchen Dwellers recalled their RiverWonderGrass odyssey with a take on John Prine’s “Paradise”. This rendition of the Singing Mailman’s ode to Kentucky was recorded amidst the bucolic splendor which accompanied the latest edition of the expedition music festival.
