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.
