Amber Rubarth
Amythyst Kiah
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 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—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.
Produced by Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, Amos Lee, Andrew Bird) and made with esteemed musicians like Blake Mills, Wary + Strange arrives as a deeply immersive body of work, endlessly redefining the limits of roots music in its inventive rhythms and textures. With an unforgettable voice that’s both unfettered and exquisitely controlled, Kiah gracefully interlaces potent vulnerability and personal revelation, ultimately offering a raw yet nuanced examination of grief, alienation, and the hard-won triumph of total self-acceptance.

Dick Pinchers
The band Dick Pinchers is multi-media, multi-disciplinary artist Sierra Furtwangler of Blood and Stomach Pills, brainchild. It all started through a Facebook post. Sierra posted that she wanted to have a girl band named Dick Pinchers, she tagged Laura V Ward of Octavia Cup Dance Theatre and the Glam Rock Cabaret, and Alison Babalon of Beautiful Bastards and Oblivion Grin, suggesting that they might be a good fit. Miraculously the trio formed. The raucous Dinner Party-esque band has become a sanity oasis for all three. Themes careen and intersect with swamp witchery, hot flashes, maniacal misbehavior, and Goddess invocation. Alison’s virtuosic bass work anchors Sierra’s heavy-hitting drums and Laura’s minimalist guitar (or violin). Vocals range from primal screams to somewhat more melodic singing, often within the same song. This IS your grandmother’s punk rock band.
