Denver-born singer, pianist, and songwriter Chantil Dukart stopped by KGNU’s Kabaret Studio for a live performance and conversation with Doug Gertner ahead of her May 1st album release show at Dazzle.

Dukart performed several songs from her new album, Shantel and the Dukes of Art, and discussed the inspiration behind them, from the bittersweet realities of living alone to finding freedom after a relationship ends. She also shared her journey from Denver to Alaska and the University of Miami, her work with Indigenous artists including Pamyua and the Native American Big Band, and why recording her latest album live with the full band gave it a warm, organic sound. The session closes with “Molly Mine,” a song inspired by a near miss with the 2024 Molly Kathleen Mine disaster.
