Renée Fleming VOICES: Amythyst Kiah

  • John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts - Terrace Theater 2700 F Street Northwest Washington, DC, 20566 United States (map)

Recognized by Rolling Stone as “one of Americana’s great up-and-coming secrets,” singer/songwriter Amythyst Kiah makes her Kennedy Center debut.

Kiah’s newest album Wary + Strange marks the glorious collision of two vastly different worlds: the iconoclastic alt-rock that first sparked her musical passion, and the roots/old-time-music scene where she’s found breakout success in recent years. Along with tapping into her vibrant musicality, Kiah expands on the uncompromising artistry she’s displayed as a member of Our Native Daughters—an all-women-of-color supergroup whose Kiah-penned standout single “Black Myself” earned a Grammy nomination for Best American Roots Song.
