KITTEL & CO.

BIO

Kittel & Co. stands at the forefront of American acoustic music. Jeremy Kittel, a GRAMMY-nominated composer, heads this extraordinary group of musicians - each recognized as an innovator on their instrument. They've graced the stage at Telluride Bluegrass Festival, and their debut album, "Whorls" didn't just make waves; it stormed to the top 10 on Classical Billboard charts and claimed the #1 spot on the Bluegrass chart.

Bluegrass Situation said it best, Kittel & Co. "accomplished a feat of new acoustic, string band-rooted chamber music... whimsical, alluring, and magnificent". Earmilk calls them " stunning melting pot of classical and folk music, featuring some of the greatest musicians in the genre." In 2025, Kittel is set to release his debut orchestral album in collaboration with the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra. Additionally, Kittel & Co. is currently working on a new studio album.

“(Kittel & Co.) takes the string band tradition to marvelously rarefied levels of collective virtuosity. Playing a repertoire from bluegrass to Bach to a strathspey and reel set… [they] sounded thrillingly spontaneous… Taking traditional music forward.” — Times UK

“Jeremy Kittel’s beautiful sound is perfectly supported by his tight and powerful band of cutting edge string players. It’s a rare group that can go from zero to sixty in a split second while also weaving such subtle textures into his compositions. They draw you in and then blow you away.” — Tim O’Brien

“A conspicuously original blend of genres… As fleet fingers fly, aromas of far-flung musical traditions appear and vanish like musical will-o’-the-wisps… virtuosic improvisation at its very highest level…” — Berkshire Edge

“The music Kittel is making now has all the precision and virtuosity of the best classical players, but the wonderfully devilish, explosive drive of the best string bands.” — Devon Leger, HearthMusic
