Description
In three action-packed years, acoustic trio Banshee in the Kitchen has delighted diverse audiences in festivals, theaters, living rooms, airplane hangars, church basements, and street corners from New York City to Los Angeles and across the West; and released not one, but two CDs. They play traditional Celtic music, spiced with a strong dash of jazz and rock, creating an eclectic, energetic sound all their own.
The group takes traditional Celtic tunes, finds the sweet spot between the old and the new, then stirs it all up with playfulness and an exquisite sense of musicality. Critics praise their instrumental precision and flair for arrangement, while audiences applaud the fun and oh-so-musical experience of being with Banshee in the Kitchen.
On stage, melodists Brenda Hunter (fiddle, hammered dulcimer) and Jill Egland (flute, accordion, whistle) trade off inspired flights of lead and countermelody over the dynamic rhythms of Mary Tulin (six- and twelve-string guitar, bouzouki).
The three met several years ago in that hotbed of Celtic music, Bakersfield, California. Brenda and Jill moved to town first, and met at local musical gatherings, yet joined different bands. Mary arrived soon after and joined Jill's band, and later (finally!) so did Brenda. The three soon discovered a strong musical and personal synergy, and were off on their own.
The name came easily. Brenda always wanted to be in a band called Banshee. Jill always liked the feminist ring of Barefoot in the Kitchen. Mary offered, "How about Banshee in the Kitchen?" And so they were.
Banshee in the Kitchen lives to play lively, beautiful, edgy Celtic music for appreciative audiences. See you at the show!
