From the pines of Portland, ME, King Kyote returns to the Word Barn for a Friday night show.
ABOUT KING KYOTE
Harken to a night of whiskey drinking in a cabin among the pines, King Kyote echoes the yells of Rock & Roll’s fore-bearers while having a deeply rooted harmony with the Blues, Roots-Rock & Indie-Americana genres. A force to be reckoned with on stage, Kyote’s fiery live shows prove that pure raw talent combined with real, honest songwriting is still the future of today’s music.
Hailing from the Maine coast, King Kyote’s sound and inspiration comes from how he views and interprets the world around him. He expresses himself through a unique lens—like a photograph, putting pen to paper captures life’s most delicate moments. The ability to draw creative power from the waves he rides and mountains he climbs gives Kyote a distinct perspective on the intertwines of the vagabond troubadour and the artist.
Over the last five years, King Kyote has firmly established himself as a standout artist, garnering attention as one of the prominent figures to keep an eye on in the northeast. Kyote represented his home state of Maine on NBC’s American Song Contest with his song “Get Out Alive” which was released on Atlantic Records in March of 2022. King Kyote has shared stages with legendary artists, including Taj Mahal, Molly Tuttle & The Golden Highway, Houndmouth, and Robert Randolph & The Family Band.
