The American singer-songwriter Amythyst Kiahcandidate for the Grammy Awards with Black Myself in the category Best American Roots Songwill be in our country for the first time Sunday 20 November 2022 at the Legend Club in Milan. I tickets are already available on the circuits Ticketone e Ticketmaster.
His debut album on the label Rounder Records Wary + Strange marks an unprecedented collision between two very different worlds: the iconoclastic alt-rock that first ignited a passion for music in Amythyst Kiahroot music with which he has achieved success in recent years, including the recognition of Rolling Stoneas "one of the best emerging secrets in Americana". In addition to drawing on the musicality she has honed through her studies in the programme at East Tennessee State University, the Chattanooga singer-songwriter has demonstrated great talent as a member of the supergroup Our Native Daughtersobtaining the title of Song of the Year at Folk Alliance International Awards in addition to the aforementioned Grammy Awards nomination.
Produced by Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, Amos Lee, Andrew Bird) and played with esteemed musicians such as Blake Mills, Wary + Strange is a deeply engaging record that continually redefines the limits of roots music with its innovative rhythms. Thanks to his unforgettable voice that is both free and exquisitely precise, Kiah gracefully interweaves political commentary and personal stories, offering a raw but refined analysis of pain, alienation and the great achievement of total self-acceptance.
