About Dream Kitchen
The name, dream kitchen, is a statement. A dream kitchen is what every American wants.
Most everything done, be it policy, overwork war, litigation etc, is always so somebody can
get a dream kitchen. 

We call the sound Folk-a-delic since we use a lot of acoustic instruments, (well sometimes) and tend to groove live. One fan called it 'Monster Pop' made of  newer and dead parts of all styles of music.  A city paper review years back called the listening experience ' like listening to a lounge band on a pirate ship'.

Music is a language and a matrix.  Dream Kitchen uses songs as a type of linguistics
to communicate with several peoples, so various styles are often borrowed.

Dream Kitchen has been invited to open shows for Hootie and the Blowfish,
The Spin Doctors, Black 47, The Radiators, David Bromberg, Peter Case,
Suddenly Tammy, the Rembrandts and more. 

The first CD received airplay on over 100 college radio stations and made the top
20 on over a quarter of the stations that we found out about.  There really was no
marketing campaign per say.  How the songs got to a Japanese compilation or a
dance club in Kiev is a mystery.  It is nice to receive those e-mails.

The goal is to have a new set of peers in the established artist community to make
more music and share it with a lot of people.  If we play hard the work will take care
of itself and good things will happen for all the partners.
