Amythyst Kiah

Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Amythyst Kiah blends Americana, folk, blues, and alternative rock. Her music is deeply personal, sometimes dark, often exhilarating, and unmistakably original.

Kiah drew widespread acclaim with her 2021 breakthrough album Wary + Strange, an exploration of grief, identity, and self-discovery that earned a place on Rolling Stone's list of the 25 Best Country and Americana Albums of the Year. Her anthem “Black Myself” earned a Grammy nomination. She is also a founding member of Our Native Daughters, the roots music group featuring Rhiannon Giddens, Allison Russell, and Leyla McCalla.

Her latest album, Still + Bright, was produced by Butch Walker and expands her sound with fuzzed-out guitars, atmospheric rock, pedal steel, and banjo. Its songs explore spirituality, nature, personal freedom, and finding your own path, with collaborations including Billy Strings, S. G. Goodman, and Tim Armstrong.

“Now I'm at a point where I'm confident in what I value and love,” Kiah explains, “and because of that I've made the album I've always wanted to make.”

Whether she's playing banjo, delivering a ballad, or unleashing the full force of her voice, Amythyst Kiah creates music that stays with you long after the final note. Experience her in the intimate setting of Caffè Lena.
