Amongst the jam bands that seem like they are always on the road are The Kitchen Dwellers. The Montana based quartet are part bluegrass or even jamgrass and part psychedelia. Their unique sound and that constant touring ethos has created quite a story to unpack. The Kitchen Dwellers released their fourth studio album “Seven Devils” a few weeks back, which gave a reason to catch up with Joe Funk, the band’s upright bass player.

Olustee represents JJ Grey and Mofro’s tenth album, a significant achievement for any band, especially when you consider it’s been eight years since we got new music from them. I’ve been a lifetime fan of JJ Grey and Mofro going back to the beginning, so it was a great treat to be able to chat with JJ about Olustee, the current activity of the band and more.

First song: Out on a Breeze

Second song: Olustee

I caught up with Vince Herman Leftover Salmon’s frontman and one of the High Hawks vocalists and g...
