Live Tonight on Millennium Stage: “Her razor-sharp guitar picking alone guarantees her a place among masters, but it’s her deep-hued voice that can change on a dime from brushed steel to melted toffee that commands attention.”
—The New York Times

“One of Americana’s great up-and-coming secrets.”
—Rolling Stone

The Rounder Records debut from Amythyst Kiah, 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, including recognition from Rolling Stone as “one of Americana’s great up-and-coming secrets.” Along with tapping into the vibrant musicality she’s honed—in part through her studies in East Tennessee State University’s Bluegrass, Old Time, Country Music program — the Chattanooga–bred singer/songwriter expands on the uncompromising artistry she’s displayed as a member of Our Native Daughters. Our Native Daughters is an all-women-of-color supergroup whose Kiah–penned standout “Black Myself” earned a Grammy® nomination for Best American Roots Song and won Song of the Year at the Folk Alliance International Awards.
