Amigo the Devil

Amigo the Devil plays Mohawk Austin on Thursday, December 10, 2026. It's a single-bill night, so the whole set belongs to him.

If you're not familiar with the name, Amigo the Devil is the project of singer-songwriter Daniel K., and he describes his music as murderfolk. It's a bit of a dark label, and it fits. The sound blends the storytelling of country with the gloom of gothic folk, and the songs usually lean into the darker side of the human experience. He's the one fronting the project, and he's built his following around a deadpan delivery and starkly honest songwriting. It's the kind of music that cares more about the story it's telling than about sounding pretty, and that's where the appeal is.

Since he's the only act on the bill, you'll get a full set of his material. If you've followed him for a while, you know the songs tend to be character studies—often bleak, often funny in a way that makes you wince—and he delivers them with a flat, conversational tone that lets the lyrics do the heavy lifting. It's a good fit for a room like Mohawk, where you can actually hear what he's saying.

The show is at Mohawk Austin, 912 Red River St, and it starts at 8 PM. It's a Thursday night, so you'll have the rest of the weekend to recover from whatever stories he tells.
