Kirk Dath Band

At the forefront of the band is 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.

Sean McCarthy, on synthesizer and Rhodes organ, adds depth and drama, blending harsh, cutting synthesis with rich, intricate textures. Dimitri Katsenavis anchors the band with lyrical bass lines and potent fuzz effects. Eric Stoye, the drummer, is the driving force, delivering both energy and finesse. The recent addition of Mack Moon, contributing backup harmonies, has elevated the vocals to new heights of haunting beauty.

Their repertoire explores lust, love, loss, and evil, and the band are storytellers who immerse audiences in varied soundscapes. Their music includes eerie ballads about agony and vengeance, 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 create vivid and unusual sonic landscapes. Fans have likened them to "the Pink Floyd of the American West."

Dath is most comfortable on the road and frequently tours North America and Europe, leaving his Salt Lake City home behind. He has performed alongside 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. He performs both solo and with his band, which varies in size from a trio to a sextet, delivering music with fervor, precision, and intensity.
