Still + Bright finds Amythyst Kiah exploring the vast expanse of her inner world. Produced by Butch Walker and featuring songs with Billy Strings, SG Goodman, and Avi Kaplan, Kiah offers a darkly cinematic twist with her third album. With its sonic palette encompassing everything from fuzzed-out guitars and industrial-leaning beats to gilded pedal steel and Kiah’s exquisitely graceful banjo work, Still + Bright fully affirms her as an artist of both daring originality and uncompromising depth.

We simply cannot wait for our Graham Nash shows this October at Cahn Auditorium! 😍 There's only a handful of tickets left, so be sure to grab yours at evanstonspace.com before they're gone!
No electricity? No problem. The power went out at our first show back on the road right before we were ready to hit the stage. That’s not enough to keep us from playing though. It was a magical night in Boulder. Sure felt like there was something electric in the air to me! Thanks everybody for being there. On we go! - G

Over the past decade, SPACE has welcomed thousands of local and national touring acts to our stage, including The Lumineers, Alabama Shakes, Graham Parker, Nick Lowe, David Lindley, The Weepies, Dr. John, Lucinda Williams and many more. The recording studio has served as a creative space for bands like The Strumbellas and The Lone Bellow to record, and offers musicians passing through a unique opportunity to rehearse and collaborate pre-show.
SPACE hosts both seated and standing-room-only shows across a variety of genres—from folk to rock to jazz and beyond. Candle-lit cabaret tables, along with general admission seats, comfortably hold an audience of 240, while standing room only shows can accommodate 330. No matter the show setup, SPACE prides itself on providing an intimate setting for fans of all ages to get up-close-and-personal with their favorite acts.
Evanston SPACE is proud to be a part of 16” on Center, a Chicago-based development company that oversees operations of more than 15 restaurants and venues, including Thalia Hall in Pilsen and The Empty Bottle in the Ukrainian Village.
