Swanky Kitchen Band takes fiddle tradition to US festival
The indigenous fiddle music of Cayman’s Swanky Kitchen Band is being shared with music lovers this week at the Festival of American Fiddle Tunes in Port Townsend, Washington.
Five members of the band – Samuel Rose, Nicholas Johnson, Lammie Seymour, Christopher Seymour and Beneil Miller – are artists in residence for a week-long, total immersion workshop being held through 6 July.
The workshop features “an array of fiddle styles from specific geographic regions of the world. They will work alongside bearers of other fiddle traditions, share culture through music, teach music in a cultural context, and build new relationships in the fiddle music community,” according to a social media post shared by the group ahead of their departure on 29 June.
