Violinist

Led by GRAMMY®-nominated violinist Jeremy Kittel, Kittel & Co. stands at the forefront of American acoustic music. Hailed as “a stunning melting pot of classical and folk music” (Earmilk), the genre-bending ensemble draws inspiration from Celtic, bluegrass, jazz and classical music to create an unforgettable sound all their own.

Their debut album, Whorls, topped Classical Billboard charts and claimed the #1 spot on the Bluegrass chart. Making their Grand Teton Music Festival debut, the current lineup includes violinist/vocalist Jeremy Kittel, mandolin phenom Josh Pinkham, bassist Jacob Warren, guitarist Quinn Bachand, and hammer-dulcimer wizard Simon Chrisman.

We welcome back local Sea Shanty star David Coffin as well as the Rasa String Quartet, who will be collaborating with our artist in residence Jeremy Kittel, as well as sharing some sea-themed repertoire from the Western Classical canon.
