Soul, Roots, and Fire featuring Ana Popovic, Amythyst Kiah, and Vanessa Collier

Get ready for an electrifying evening of genre-defying music as Ana Popovic, Amythyst Kiah, and Vanessa Collier come together for a powerful celebration of Soul, Roots, and Fire, featuring full band sets from Ana Popovic and Vanessa Collier alongside an intimate solo performance from Amythyst Kiah, plus special collaborative moments that highlight the chemistry between three of today’s most compelling voices in contemporary roots music.  Popovic, whom Bruce Springsteen called “one helluva guitar player,” is internationally renowned for her fiery, genre-blending guitar work; Amythyst Kiah, a Grammy Award nominee, brings a deeply emotional and raw approach to Americana and folk with haunting vocals and incisive songwriting; and Vanessa Collier, a multi-instrumentalist and Blues Music Award winner, commands the stage with soulful vocals, powerful saxophone, and a modern take on blues traditions, making this a vibrant, unforgettable night you won’t want to miss.

“Ana Popovic melds rock, blues, and jazz for fiery power.” – No Depression

“Amythyst Kiah’s 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

“[Vanessa Collier is an] Up-and-Comer” – Rolling Stone

Pre-concert reception from 6:30-8 p.m. features live local music from Mic. Carr & Shades, curated bites from Ollie’s Trolley, slices from N.Y.P.D. Pizza, craft beer tastings from HighGrain Brewing Co., and grain-to-glass spirits from Northern Row Brewery & Distillery.
