20-year-old blues-rock sensation Amani Burnham makes his electrifying debut in New York City. The Connecticut-based artist has captivated millions on social media with his raw talent and magnetic presence, and is ready to take flight with Roots & Wings, his debut album on the acclaimed Blind Pig Records label.
The 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.
