AMOS LEE’S “MY NEW MOON” TOUR
T
he sounds of Amos Lee encompass folk, rock, and soul. The American singer-songwriter has been described by the New York Times as having a “honeyed singing voice – light amber, mildly sweet, a touch of grain” which he features “squarely, without much fuss or undue strain” in his “1970s folk rock and rustic soul” musical song craft. Lee has previously performed as opener for an impressive list of artists including Norah Jones, Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, Paul Simon, Merle Haggard, Van Morrison, John Prine, Dave Matthews Band, Adele, the
Zac Brown Band, Jack Johnson, The Avett Brothers, and David Gray. Lee’s recording career includes one live album and seven studio albums, the most recent of which, My New Moon, was released in August of 2018. The new album is comprised of 10 original songs described by the press as “the product of a period of intense connection and loss, marking [Lee’s] most personal collection to date.” Appearing with Amos Lee is Ethan Gruska of The Belle Brigade, who traveled as the opening act and part of the backup band for Ray LaMontagne’s North American tour.
