Amigo the Devil has announced an extensive 2021 US tour kicking off in August. The entire trek will be supported by Tejon Street Corner Thieves, while IV and the Strange Band (led by Hank Williams III’s son Coleman) and Stephanie Lambring will also appear at select dates.
The lengthy 50-plus show itinerary begins on August 18th at Meow Wolf in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and runs all the way through November 18th, when it wraps up in Dallas. It’s the second major headlining tour for Amigo, aka Danny Kiranos, who will bring his macabre brand of Americana storytelling to each gig.
In addition to the headlining shows, Amigo will make festival appearances at Psycho Las Vegas on August 22nd; Riot Fest in Chicago on September 17th; Shaky Knees in Atlanta on October 22nd in Atlanta; and Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach, Florida, on November 12th.
Fans of both alt-country and heavy metal have fallen under the spell of Amigo the Devil’s literary, uncompromising style. We chose him as our Artist of the Month back in April for that reason. Like Townes Van Zandt and John Prine, Kiranos uses whatever words and emotions necessary to convey his message. Sometimes it ain’t pretty, as the stark tales and doomed characters on his new album Born Against can testify.
Tickets for Amigo the Devil’s 2021 US tour will be available via local venues and Ticketmaster. See the full list of dates below, followed by our recent video Zoom interview with Amigo.
