Musco Center’s Mostly Blues Festival Online Livestream
03.03.21
On March 5, experience what Rolling Stone called “one of Americana’s great up-and-coming secrets," alternative folk singer-songwriter Amythyst Kiah. The Tennessee-bred musician is a member of folk supergroup Our Native Daughters but has a mighty, resonant voice all of her own, best exemplified by the recent release of "Black Myself," Kiah's anthem of gritty self-acceptance.
Join Amythyst Kiah this Friday, March 5 at 7 p.m. for a free live-at-home concert and Q & A discussion about bluegrass guitar Celtic music, and the intermingling of multicultural influences that create her boundary-crossing “Southern Gothic alt-country blues” style.
