Sound Series: Amythyst Kiah

We welcome Tennessee-based songwriter and guitarist, Amythyst Kiah, for a solo performance in our intimate theater. Her 2021 breakthrough album Wary + Strange made Rolling Stone’s list of the 25 Best Country and Americana Albums and appeared on many other best albums of the year lists, including Pitchfork. Kiah is also a member of Our Native Daughters (an all-women-of-color supergroup also featuring Rhiannon Giddens, Leyla McCalla, and Allison Russell), who released Songs of Our Native Daughters on Smithsonian Folkways in 2019. And Kiah’s Black Myself was GRAMMY nominated for Best Americana Roots Song.

“Her razor-sharp guitar picking alone guarantees her a place among masters, but it’s her deep-hued voice that can change on a dime from brushed steel to melted toffee that commands attention.” — New York Times
