Amigo the Devil on Tour

Amigo the Devil, the artistic moniker for musician Danny Kiranos, is a fitting juxtaposition for the acoustic troubadour who challenges the expectations of country fans, folk traditionalists and metal rockers alike with his unique brand of grisly "MurderFolk". Though armed with just his vocals and a banjo or acoustic guitar, experiencing Amigo the Devil in concert is unlike any typical folk show. He sings his dark, poetic lyrics from the soul and performs with a theatrical flair that engages everyone in the crowd. Rooted in the art of storytelling and infused with unsuspecting doses of humor, Amigo the Devil grips the audience by the very first line, making life's less-than-pleasant moments relatable to fans of all genres through songs centered around themes of loss, doubt and regret. The multifaceted artist draws from diverse elements that range from bluegrass to electropunk, country rap and gothic rock. On his 2021 album, Born Against, he weighs on past and present musical influences to create his own authentic expression of multi-faceted talent. You can catch Amigo the Devil on tour as across the U.S. throughout 2022-23, commanding the stage with his original style, clever lyrics and hummable tunes that get people to sing along with their demons.

Amigo the Devil Live in Concert

Before he became known by the masses as Amigo the Devil, Danny Kiranos was a man from Miami with a banjo and opinion. Today, this one-man folk band is appearing at festivals and headlining shows across the country with a cult-like band of followers who will drive hours to bring venues like House of Blues (San Diego) to capacity to watch Amigo the Devil on tour. The Florida native taught himself how to play guitar at the age of 13, eventually releasing music under his pseudonym by 2010. As a first-generation American, Kiranos grew up on his parents' world music of the classic Bolero tradition and sounds from Eastern European folk. Later in his career, he was introduced to storytelling influences -- such as Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits and Fiona Apple -- and gained an appreciation for metallic rock that help shape the music he makes today. As people from all walks of life were won over by the disarming nature of his songs that speak to the human condition, his audience grew in size and appreciation. After the self-taught artist released his debut album, Everything is Fine, in 2018 and experienced a huge spike in popularity, he found himself performing in larger venues to larger crowds. Over the years, he's built a dedicated fanbase who treat each other like family in a community group called "The Fellowship" on Facebook, some of whom have gotten one of the many Amigo the Devil tattoos that are displayed on his website. He's even honored in his home city of Austin, Texas, with an "Amigo the Devil Day," which falls on November 16 every year.

    House of Blues - New Orleans

    by S. S. on 12/23/21

    I think about seeing him perform in New Orleans at least once every couple days. I saw Amigo with my man, and we danced together on the dance floor like no one was watching. He was so personable and funny. Just an overall amazing venue and experience. Loved him so much. So talented. <3

    The show you can't miss.

    by Dahmer on 11/17/21House of Blues New Orleans - New Orleans

    Danny is by far the best frontman I've ever seen. He keeps the crowd into it at ever minute. Definitely don't pass up on chance to see this show.

    Awesome show

    by Jeff on 9/21/21

    The show was great! Amigo the Devil is an amazingly talent. With just his guitars and effects pedals he captivated the audience for his entire set. He is a powerful singer/songwriter with great audience interaction and sense of humor. Tejon Street Corner Thieves was one of his openers and they are definitely an act to watch. Between the washboard player stage driving (you don't get to say that very often), and a mosh pit forming while they performed their blend of rock/country/bluegrass they were definitely a sight to behold. They found a new fan in me that night.

    Great show

    by John on 6/28/21

    Amigo The Devil: Saw show w my wife and daughter while on vacation (London). It was the biggest highlight of our trip! What a great entertainer! He’s up there with his banjo or acoustic guitar and a mic AND he commands the audience. No matter what kind of music you like, you have to check him out live. It is well worth it.

    Powerful

    by D.605 on 3/13/20

    Opener for Murder by Death this past weekend in Lawrence Kansas. Booming vocals, and powerful lyrics with dark comedic undertones. Almost haunting a capella moments. Great performance.
