   About Banshee in the Kitchen
Acoustic trio Banshee in the Kitchen infuses traditional Celtic music and dashes with a dash of jazz and rock. Critics praise their dynamic arrangements and instrumental precision. Audiences love their eclectic approach and fun stage presence. The band finds the sweet spot between old and new, playfully stirring them together with originality and musicality they call “banshee-fying”.

Banshee in the Kitchen, based in Bakersfield, California, has been touring and recording since 2001. Last year they released their fourth album, Invite the Light: World Music for Winter, following on Even Hotter Water (Speirbhean Records, 2005). Internationally syndicated public radio show Echoes (PRI) features ITL as well as their second album, Catching the Mooncoin, which placed in its top 20 albums of 2003. Echoes produced a ‘meet the band’ feature and two concerts hosted by producert John Diliberto. Meanwhile, all the Banshee’s albums get regular play around the world.

Thanks for the add ladies; I'm looking forward to seeing you at Dagny's on Wednesday. CJ and I are really enjoying the copy of Even Hotter Water that we picked up a couple of weeks ago.. It's barely left my car's CD player :)

Brenda, Jill and Mary~

Thank you for adding me. From a long time fan of your very empowering and eclectic style.

The first time I heard you guys play at the Scottish Highland Games in Bakersfield whilst there with my medieval society. I was hooked big time!

You three are by far one of the most energetic trio's I have encountered to date..
