Kitchen Dwellers and Daniel Donato are currently in the midst of their Galaxy Grass x Cosmic Country fall tour. The two bands stopped at Park City Music Hall in Bridgeport, CT on Sunday, where they each played their own set and collaborated on stage, with Dwellers banjoist Torrin Daniels joining Donato and his band Cosmic Country for a couple tunes including Tony Rice‘s “Freeborn Man” and “Blue Skies” by Irving Berlin.
Featuring two of the most exciting acts in live country and bluegrass, the Galaxy Grass x Cosmic Country tour, which kicked off at the beginning of October in St. Louis, has proved a potent platform for memorable collaborations. Donato’s bluegrass-informed guitar picking fits right in with Kitchen Dwellers’ eclectic galaxy grass, as he has shown in previous sit-ins. Videos from Sunday’s concert show Torrin Daniels likewise bringing a bluegrass twang to Cosmic Country as he joins the band on two classic covers.
