As a member of the all-female, all-nonwhite supergroup Our Native Daughters, singer-songwriter Amythyst Kiah explores the complex and consequential links between art, race, gender and oppression. One of an exciting number of talented contemporary performers recasting roots music in decidedly Afrocentric terms, Kiah made waves at Nashville’s AmericanaFest last month, with Rolling Stone dubbing her “one of Americana’s great up-and-coming secrets.” With a debut full-length reportedly on the way, the Johnson City, TN, guitarist and her gut-stirring voice hit The Foundry on Thursday with support from equally promising Asheville, NC, alt-folkie Alexa Rose.
