HEADLINING ARTIST: Kyshona
Kyshona is not only a talented musical artist and songwriter, but also an activist, music therapist, and community connector. She lends her voice and music to those who feel silenced, forgotten or alone. She blends roots, rock, R&B, and folk genres with lyrical prowess to uplift the marginalized and bring awareness to the masses. Her songs are “…protest music for a new generation, a musical treatment for social ills, a unique prescription that only works if you listen.”
Kyshona’s new project LEGACY focuses on family. Through stories, photos, film, ancestry, genealogy research, and travels, Kyshona shares her story while inviting listeners and concert goers to join her in exploration of the self, healing, and growth.
