Amythyst Kiah Finds Joy On New Album Still + Bright, Out Oct. 25 Via Rounder Records
About Amythyst Kiah:
With an unforgettable voice that's both unfettered and exquisitely controlled, the Tennessee-bred singer/songwriter is a "fantastic fingerpicker, dynamo singer and profound songwriter [who] defies all sorts of stereotypes" (Guitar Player). Her 2021 release of Wary + Strange earned glowing features and reviews from The New York Times, NPR Morning Edition, Pitchfork, and Rolling Stone, plus performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and CBS Saturday Morning. Kiah is also a member of Our Native Daughters-an all-women-of-color supergroup whose standout track "Black Myself" (written by Kiah) earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best American Roots Song. She recently joined Iron & Wine on their summer tour, and has shared stages with The Who, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, CAM and more.
