Rolling Stone says that Amos Lee is an artist to watch because his voice is rich, and his songs are melodious and memorable. His highly successful albums, Amos Lee, Last Days at the Lodge and Supply and Demand demonstrate Lee’s rich vocal abilities and well-defined melody and lyrics. Inspired by great soul artists Stevie Wonder and Bill Withers, singer/songwriter Amos Lee distinguishes himself with his own brand of jazz, soul, folk, and blues.
He will demonstrate his fusion style and acoustic guitar talent at The Ridgefield Playhouse on Saturday, July 17, at 8 p.m. Special guest is singer/songwriter Mutlu (Onaral), a versatile soul/R&B/folk/funk artist. This show is part of the Doyle Coffin Architecture Singer/Songwriter Series.
The musicians who had the most influence on Amos Lee include John Prine and James Taylor. From several worldwide headlining tours to supporting roles with Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Elvis Costello, Norah Jones and Merle Haggard, Amos Lee evolved his quintessential sound by way of his stage time.
