Amani Burnham: Debut Album Tour at Levitt Pavilion

Rising blues-rock guitarist Amani Burnham brings his Debut Album Tour to Levitt Pavilion on July 16, 2026, showcasing the music from his first full-length release, Roots & Wings.

At just 20 years old, the Connecticut-based musician has quickly become one of the most talked-about young artists in contemporary blues-rock. Burnham first gained national attention through social media, where his electrifying guitar performances and soulful interpretations of classic blues songs attracted more than 240,000 followers and nearly 30 million views across multiple platforms. His unique playing style, using his thumb instead of a traditional guitar pick, has earned praise from music fans and industry publications alike.

Released through the legendary Blind Pig Records label, Roots & Wings features a blend of powerful blues-rock, expressive vocals, and deeply personal songwriting. The album includes high-energy instrumentals, reflective tracks inspired by Burnham’s Ethiopian heritage, and performances that pay tribute to blues-rock pioneers while forging a distinctly modern sound. Recorded at the renowned Carriage House Studios, the album highlights Burnham’s impressive musicianship and growing artistic vision.

Guitar World recently described him as “the budding blues-rock hero blending fingerstyle technique with SRV tone,” while critics have praised his ability to carry the blues tradition forward for a new generation.

The concert begins at 7:30 pm on Thursday, July 16, 2026, with doors opening at 6:30 pm. The performance takes place at Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts, 40 Jesup Road, Westport, CT 06880.

Admission is free, but tickets are required. Guests may reserve free tickets in advance online or obtain them through the on-site box office beginning two hours before showtime, subject to availability. Tickets previously issued for the originally scheduled May 29 performance will be honored for this rescheduled date.
