Hear this rising acoustic and blues star whose socially conscious and emotional lyrics make her music as relevant as ever. Her poignant songwriting is comparable to Joan Baez and her powerful voice is reminiscent of Etta James. At the Annex, Kyshona will perform as a trio with singers Nickie Conley and Jannelle Means.
Kyshona blends blues, soul, rock and folk to express uplifting themes of hope and empowerment. She began writing songs as a music therapist and remains active in spreading the healing power of song.
Earlier this year, Kyshona released the album Legacy which includes the gospel roots track “Waitin’ on the Lawd,” featuring Grand Annex favorite, Chris Pierce! The Boston Globe and The Tennessean have praised how Legacy plays with genres originating in early African American history to honor Kyshona’s ancestors.
Opener by Joselyn & Don / 8 PM
Folk-Americana duo Joselyn & Don will be opening the show! Montana natives turned Angelenos, Joselyn Wilkinson (vocals/ukulele) and Don Barrozo (guitar) craft warm, authentic music deeply rooted in their Western heritage. Their new single “Choose Love” also features Grand Annex fav, Chris Pierce. Listen to their song “Workin the Hi-Line,” a tribute to Don’s father.
