About
Kirk Dath Band is led by the booming baritone and piercing falsetto of lead singer and guitarist Kirk Dath. As the principal songwriter and founder, Dath captivates listeners with vivid portrayals of passion and guides them through haunting narratives of redemption with his soothing whispers.
Band members:
- Kirk Dath — lead singer, guitarist, principal songwriter, founder
- Sean McCarthy — synthesizer and Rhodes organ
- Dimitri Katsenavis — bass (lyrical lines and fuzz effects)
- Eric Stoye — drums
- Mack Moon — backup harmonies (recent addition)
The band's repertoire includes songs about lust, love, loss, and evil, showcasing varied themes and peculiar fascinations. Their music ranges from eerie ballads about agony and vengeance to a seductive song mourning a lost bird that sets the rhythm for the dance floor, and a hypnotic piece that evokes the sensation of a hallucinogenic toad lick.
Equally skilled as musicians and innovators, they have forged a deep connection with their instruments, creating vivid and unusual sonic landscapes. Fans have likened them to "the Pink Floyd of the American West."
Dath, most comfortable on the road and fueled by a desire for new experiences and insights into the collective human psyche, frequently tours North America and Europe, leaving his Salt Lake City home behind. He has performed alongside international acts like Murder By Death, Joshua James, Wovenhand, and Sleepy Sun, and has headlined festivals such as MGME, Craft Lake City, Escalante Music Festival, and the Utah Arts Festival.
Dath performs both solo and with his band, which varies in size from a trio to a sextet. He delivers his music with fervor, precision, and intensity, leaving audiences deeply moved and craving more.
