Grammy-nominated Americana artist Amythyst Kiah is coming to the Carver this weekend

Tennessee-based Amythyst Kiah, who combines blues and roots music with alt-rock influences, is performing at the Carver Community Cultural Center’s Jo Long Theatre on Saturday, March 25. Acclaimed by both the New York Times and Rolling Stone as an up-and-coming Americana performer who challenges the genre's whitewashed heritage, Kiah specializes in songs that are both politically charged and personal. She earned a 2020 Grammy nomination for Best American Roots Song for her tune “Black Myself,"  which she wrote for the women-of-color banjo-playing four piece Our Native Roots.
