Amani Burnham at Music on Main

At just 20 years old, Burnham's emergence has been meteoric. In less than two years, he amassed more than 20 million views on TikTok, with millions more across Instagram and other social media platforms. His remarkable guitar work, characterized by the unique use of his thumb, oozes with raw emotion that resonates throughout his passionate singing and evocative songwriting.

Jeff Schroedl of Blind Pig Records says, "Amani has that rare gift where music flows through him in a way you can't teach or manufacture. His playing channels something primal and visceral that immediately captures your attention, and his songwriting is beyond his years."

Burnham draws on the pure power of the classic blues trio—just guitar, bass, and drums. Joined by bassist, Garret lutzo, and drummer, Henry Maass, his stripped-down and dynamic playing hits with clarity and force, delivering a sound that’s both intimate and thunderous. The passion in his performance is unmistakable.
