...brings an electrifying new energy to the modern music landscape!

Amani Burnham is a 20-year-old Ethiopian born guitarist, singer, and songwriter.

The upcoming release Roots & Wings marks the electrifying debut of 20-year-old
blues-rock sensation Amani Burnham, who has captivated millions on social media with
his raw talent and magnetic presence. Released on the acclaimed Blind Pig Records,
this 12-track collection showcases Amani’s remarkable guitar work—played uniquely
with his right-hand thumb rather than a pick—alongside soulful vocals and introspective
songwriting. From the turbo-charged instrumental “Fastlane” to the deeply personal title
track reflecting on his Ethiopian roots, the album crackles with groovy blues-rock riffs,
cosmic solos, and stinging vibrato. Recorded at the renowned Carriage House Studios
with a classic power-trio setup, Roots & Wings honors the legacy of blues-rock giants
while heralding a bold new voice for a new generation.

Amani has two shows at Lancaster Roots and Blues.
