Amigo the Devil brings murderfolk to Beer City Music Hall on Dec. 11
Danny Kiranos is back on the road after a year that included a house fire and a comeback single. He plays a 500-capacity room in Oklahoma City in December, with Nate Bergman opening.

A banjo, a murder ballad and a room full of people singing along to the worst thing that ever happened to somebody. That's an Amigo the Devil show, and one is coming to Oklahoma City two weeks before Christmas.
Amigo the Devil plays Beer City Music Hall on Friday, Dec. 11, at 8 p.m., with Nate Bergman opening. Tickets run $35–$75 through Prekindle. The date was announced Oct. 21, and Beer City holds 500.
Amigo the Devil is the stage name of Danny Kiranos. His songs sit somewhere between country, folk and something darker, a style the music press has taken to calling "murderfolk." Kerrang! files him under exactly that tag. The brief's genre listing adds hip-hop and rap to the country, which says something about how hard he is to pin down. The songs are sharp, often funny and frequently violent, and the crowds treat them like hymns.
The last full-length album was *Yours Until The War Is Over*, released in February 2024, as mxdwn reported when it was announced. The bigger story is what came after. In June 2025, Kiranos survived a house fire that mxdwn described as devastating. That December he released "New Kind of Lonely," his first new song since the fire, as a standalone single on his own Liar's Club Records label (mxdwn; Ghost Cult). He has toured abroad, too: he made his first tour of the U.K. and Europe with a full band in June 2023, per Devil's Gate Music.
The songs are sharp, often funny and frequently violent, and the crowds treat them like hymns.
Why this room: 500 people is the right size for this music. Songs like these depend on the crowd hanging on every word, and Kiranos's best lines land in the quiet between verses. In a big shed, that gets lost. In a 500-cap hall, everyone hears the joke and the punch line, and everyone sings the chorus back.
When to get tickets: now. The $35–$75 range on Prekindle points to tiered pricing, so the cheaper tickets will likely go first. It's a Friday in December, which means plenty of company holiday parties around town. This will be an easy pick for anyone who'd rather spend the night singing about graves than wearing an ugly sweater.
Nate Bergman opens, so plan to be inside by 8. Then settle in, because Amigo the Devil's sets reward the people who know the words, and especially the people who don't yet.
