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 ex ploratory spirit\, and a deep connection to the American West. \nIn 2024\, Kitchen Dwellers released their latest full-length studio album\, Seven D evils\, which\narrived on March 1 and debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Bluegrass Albums chart. The\nrecord expanded the band’s creative reach and reinforced their place at the forefront of\nprogressive roots and blue grass. \nThe band’s newest release\, The Katabatic EP\, highlights anoth er side of their creative arc.\nRecorded in late November 2021 at Mighty F ine Studios in Denver and Peach Street Studios in\nBozeman\, the three-son g EP captures a vivid snapshot of wintertime inspiration in Montana. Roote d in sweeping landscapes and natural contrasts\, the EP blends mythic lyri cism\, atmospheric instrumental interplay\, and a progressive blend of blu egrass\, folk\, and americana that has become the group’s signature. \nT he song “Madison” tells the story of a mystified angler on the Madison River\, drawing parallels between love and the unpredictable rhythms of f ishing. 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\, windswep t terrain\, and orbiting moons. The EP was produced by Kitchen Dwellers\, mixed by Stephan Gueguen and Max Davies\, and mastered by Stephan Gueguen. \nKitchen Dwellers have continued to earn national attention through cons istent touring\, acclaimed studio work\, and an expanding grassroots follo wing. Their studio album discography includes Ghost in the Bottle (2017)\, Muir Maid (2019)\, Wise River (2022)\, and Seven Devils (2024). Collectiv ely\, these releases have amassed more than 15 million streams across plat forms\, with recent NOCO releases accounting for more than 8 million.\nThe ir vibrant live show has taken them to major festivals and iconic stages a cross the country. The band has performed at Bonnaroo Music Festival\, Tel luride Bluegrass\, Under The Big Sky\, WinterWonderGrass\, Northwest Strin g Summit\, and more. They have also achieved career milestones by headlini ng Red Rocks Amphitheatre and headlining the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. \nAlong the way\, Kitchen Dwellers have received praise from ou tlets such as Bluegrass Today\, Huffington Post\, Relix\, American Songwri ter\, and additional national publications.\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 c ommitted to pushing the boundaries of modern bluegrass and exploring new m usical terrain. \nDogs in a Pile:\nSomething organic has been blooming fro m Asbury Park\, New Jersey\, and is now making its way around the world. D ogs In A Pile\, a band of five twenty somethings with old souls and limitl ess chops\, is waking people up to the timeless and ineffable joys of psyc hedelic-tinged jazz-funk rock n’ roll. \nThis is one of the busiest tour ing bands of today\, averaging 130 live shows per year since 2022. The roa d has become their creative engine\, generating a rapidly growing catalog of original tunes. Distroid\, the band’s newest album\, is a 10-song col lection featuring long-awaited studio versions of some of the Dogs’ most beloved repertoire. \nDogs In A Pile is guitarist Jimmy Law\, guitarist B rian Murray\, keyboardist Jeremy Kaplan\, bassist Sam Lucid\, and drummer Joe Babick. In addition\, the Dogs In A Pile community includes the Dog P ound\, the group’s extended family of fans across the country. \nBesides being a lyric from the Grateful Dead song\, “He’s Gone\,” the name “Dogs In A Pile” is an apt description of the five-piece band’s styl istic breadth. The sonic image it conjures is a heap of storyteller Americ ana\, bluegrass\, jazz improvisation\, eccentric instrumental excursions\, pop-rock sophistication\, and deep-pocket grooves\, ranging from funk to Latin to reggae and beyond. \nDistroid features material that has already become staples of the band’s live show. These studio renditions have aff orded the group a chance to present the compositions just how they envisio n them. Distroid offers a cross-section of the Dogs In A Pile essence\, ti ght and tuneful four-minute funk and jazz informed psych-rock songs\, and then sprawling 15-minute compositions with intricate unison lines\, agile genre-jumping\, and dazzling improvisation \nTown Ballroom:\n681 Main St\, Buffalo\, NY 14203\nDoors: 7:00pm\nShow: 8:00pm\nAges: 18+ \nhttps://www. facebook.com/events/1365156872409310/ \n\nTickets & Event Information \n\n \nYouth mental health is a community priority\, and we all have a role to play! \nJoin educators\, mental health professionals\, community partners and advocates at the 2nd Annual SMART Youth Mental Health Summit on Septe mber 16 at the Buffalo Convention Center. \nTogether\, we will share stra tegies\, build connections and explore ways to strengthen mental health an d wellness supports for youth and families. \nLearn More and Register Toda y: https://communityschools.e1b.org/smart/mental-health-summit LAST-MODIFIED:20260905T061558Z LOCATION:Riviera Theatre\, 67 Webster Street\, North Tonawanda\, NY\, 1412 0\, UNITED STATES URL:https://events.wnymedia.net/event/smart-youth-mental-health-summit/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Buffalo Events Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://events.wnymedia.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Borderland Festival 2026 DTSTART:20260918T170000Z DTEND:20260921T010000Z DTSTAMP:20260905T061558Z UID:37092-1789736400-1789938000@events.wnymedia.net CATEGORIES:festival DESCRIPTION:Borderland Festival is back!

This year will prove to be an excitin g one for LaMontagne as he heads out on the road celebrating his first ful l length album\, Trouble\, playing the album in its entirety as well as so ngs from across his catalog. \nOf this landmark anniversary\, LaMontagne h as written the following personal note to his fans:\n“As many of you kno w\, last September was the 20th anniversary of the release of Trouble. Twe nty years. Two Decades. That’s a lot of water under the bridge. Every ce ll in my body has changed three times over in that time. I have been three times reborn.\nThere are moments in your life when you need to place a ma rker. Some people think that it is brave\, or fearless\, to never look bac k. I don’t believe that. For the simple reason that if you never look ba ck you will never see how far you have come. This year I place a sign post : twenty years of Trouble.\nWhen Trouble was initially released Vinyl was considered a dead format\, never to breathe again – digital audio was th e new King. As we know this has proved untrue. Each year more and more mus ic lovers are listening to Vinyl and appreciating it for its depth and bre adth of sound\, for its physical heft\, for its tangible realness. Over th e past few months Brian Lee and Bob Jackson at Waygate Mastering have rema stered the album for the first time specifically for Vinyl. And I have to say\, it sounds incredible. They have managed to bring out subtleties in t he vocals\, the instrumentation\, that were somehow lost previously. It so unds as if a sonic veil has been lifted.

This yea r will prove to be an exciting one for LaMontagne as he heads out on the r oad celebrating his first full length album\, Trouble\, playing the album in its entirety as well as songs from across his catalog. \nOf this landma rk anniversary\, LaMontagne has written the following personal note to his fans:“As many of you know\, last September was the 20th anniversary of the release of Trouble. Twenty years. Two Decades. That’s a lot of water under the bridge. Every cell in my body has changed three times over in t hat time. I have been three times reborn.There are moments in your life wh en you need to place a marker. Some people think that it is brave\, or fea rless\, to never look back. I don’t believe that. For the simple reason that if you never look back you will never see how far you have come. This year I place a sign post: twenty years of Trouble.When Trouble was initia lly released Vinyl was considered a dead format\, never to breathe again – digital audio was the new King. As we know this has proved untrue. Eac h year more and more music lovers are listening to Vinyl and appreciating it for its depth and breadth of sound\, for its physical heft\, for its ta ngible realness. Over the past few months Brian Lee and Bob Jackson at Way gate Mastering have remastered the album for the first time specifically f or Vinyl. And I have to say\, it sounds incredible. They have managed to b ring out subtleties in the vocals\, the instrumentation\, that were someho w lost previously. It sounds as if a sonic veil has been lifted. I cannot thank them enough.To further honor this moment I will be hitting the road later this summer for the Trouble 20th Anniversary Tour\, playing the albu m top to tail for the first time since it was released. I hope you will co me out and join me and my friends and help us celebrate this moment in tim e. It wouldn’t be the same without you.” \n—– \nThe Weather Statio ntheweatherstation.net \nSale Dates and Times:Public Onsale : Fri\, 5 Dec 2025 at 10:00 AMArtist Presale : Wed\, 3 Dec 2025 at 10:00 AMArtparker Me mbership Presale : Wed\, 3 Dec 2025 at 10:00 AM LAST-MODIFIED:20260905T061558Z LOCATION:Artpark\, Artpark\, Lewiston\, NY\, 14092\, UNITED STATES URL:https://events.wnymedia.net/event/ray-lamontagne-trouble-20th-annivers ary-tour-at-artpark-mainstage-lewiston-ny/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Buffalo Events Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://events.wnymedia.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Tyler Westcott “Wanderlust” Album Release Party at Sportsmens Tavern DTSTART:20260926T010000Z DTEND:20260926T040000Z DTSTAMP:20260829T061433Z UID:39346-1790370000-1790380800@events.wnymedia.net CATEGORIES:music DESCRIPTION:🚐✨WANDERLUST✨🚐 \nFriends & neighbors I’m soooo ver y excited to finally share the cover art & announce the release date of my album “Wanderlust”! \nThe whole dang album drops September 16th 2026 !

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 exp loratory spirit\, and a deep connection to the American West. \nIn 2024\, Kitchen Dwellers released their latest full-length studio album\, Seven De vils\, whicharrived on March 1 and debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Bl uegrass Albums chart.

Rooted in sweepi ng landscapes and natural contrasts\, the EP blends mythic lyricism\, atmo spheric instrumental interplay\, and a progressive blend of bluegrass\, fo lk\, and americana that has become the group’s signature. \nThe song “ Madison” tells the story of a mystified angler on the Madison River\, dr awing parallels between love and the unpredictable rhythms of fishing. The instrumentals “Mimas and Ida” and “Katabatic” broaden the sonic p alette with guest trumpeter Eric “Benny” Bloom of Lettuce\, whose bras s textures add lift\, spark\, and momentum. Shifting grooves\, evolving te mpos\, and evocative melodies evoke mountain valleys\, windswept terrain\, and orbiting moons. The EP was produced by Kitchen Dwellers\, mixed by St ephan Gueguen and Max Davies\, and mastered by Stephan Gueguen. \nKitchen Dwellers have continued to earn national attention through consistent tour ing\, acclaimed studio work\, and an expanding grassroots following.
