One of Americana’s great up-and-coming secrets.

—Rolling Stone

She really is important in reminding people that there is a great tradition of African American, old-time musicians. I love that she sings in this really rich low vocal range, just straight from the chest, resonant.

—NPR

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

Amythyst Kiah’s commanding stage presence is matched by her raw and powerful vocals—a deeply moving, hypnotic sound that stirs echoes of a distant and restless past. Her eclectic influences span decades, finding inspiration in old-time music, alternative rock, folk, country, and blues.

On her most recent album, Still + Bright, the Tennessee-bred singer-songwriter explores the vast expanse of her inner world: her deep-rooted affinity for Eastern philosophies and spiritual traditions, a near-mystical connection with the natural environment, the life lessons learned in her formative years as a self-described “anime-nerd mall goth,” and much more.
