Amythyst Kiah with Buffalo Nichols at Shank Hall

Amythyst Kiah brings her American roots sound to Shank Hall, with Buffalo Nichols as special guest. Songs like “Black Myself” are built for a live room — fierce, foot-stomping numbers layered with backup vocals and string-band virtuosity. Kiah's set reaches back to old-time and bluegrass traditions, carried by her rich, low voice and sharp guitar picking.

At Shank Hall, the focus stays on the music itself. Kiah's voice moves from a deep register to a steely edge, while her guitar work holds the center. With Buffalo Nichols opening the evening, it's a night for listeners who want songcraft and musicianship up close.
