About this concert
Years ago, Chilean-American singer/songwriter Chris Bowers Castillo moved to the port city of Valparaso and became a walking tour guide.I would dress up as Wally and give tours to families and kids, he remembers with a laugh. It was great, because I got to know the city incredibly well. Id walk for hours, then spend the rest of the day partying and drinking, probably way too much. But I also wrote lots of new songs.Back in Denver, Chris looked for a moniker that reflected the evocative and subtly rebellious musical concepts percolating in his head, and settled on kiltro- a word used in Chile for stray dogs or mutts. He then teamed up with bassist Will Parkhill and drummer Michael Devincenzi, later inviting Fez Garca to join the band as an additional percussionist on Kiltros live gigs.I wanted to do a project mixing different styles and aesthetics, he says. Valparaso is my favorite city in the world and will always influence my music. There were street dogs everywhere, and Im a mutt myself.

Great venue in the Backrooms, super intimate with upper level seating if you don’t want to stand close to the stage. Sound was great and one of the drummers really brought the energy to the live performance

Kiltro Biography
Kiltro is the brainchild of Chilean-American singer songwriter Chris Bowers Castillo. Conceived in the lively, bohemian port city of Valparaiso, Chile, Kiltro draws much of its thematic energy from Latin-American folk artists, making for an emotive and stylistically unique merging of older genres with contemporary ones.
