Sam Amidon returns to New York City to perform with a super special & most powerful Album Release concert at Le Poisson Rouge on May 16. He will be celebrating his Nonesuch debut, “Bright Sunny South,” which is released on May 14. He will be joined by the multi-instrumentalist band of clandestine itinerants with whom he recorded the album (Thomas Bartlett, Shahzad Ismaily, Chris Vatalaro) as well as certain top-secret & special guests. This is his first full-scale band performance in New York City since the release of his previous album I See The Sign in 2010, although he has recently graced NYC stages as part of Doveman’s Burgundy Stain sessions, in duo with Bill Frisell, and in collaboration with Nico Muhly, Beth Orton and others. He can’t wait. Check it-

Sam Amidon

Sam Amidon is a singer and multi-instrumentalist (banjo, guitar, fiddle) from Vermont, now based in London, England. He has released seven acclaimed solo albums of songs on Bedroom Community and Nonesuch Records, the most recent of which is 2020’s “Sam Amidon.”  He is currently working on a new album to be released this year.

Amidon’s material for these albums often consists of adventurous reworkings of traditional American ballads, hymns and work songs, with the New York Times writing that Amidon “transforms all of the songs, changing their colors and loading them with trapdoors.” The albums have been deeply collaborative in nature, inviting contributions from musicians such as composer Nico Muhly, guitarist Bill Frisell, and legendary percussionist Milford Graves.

Sam Amidon has recorded or performed as a guest artist with musicians such as Bon Iver, Emmylou Harris, Tune-Yards, The National, John Prine, Jason Moran, and Amidon’s wife, Beth Orton. He has also appeared internationally as a soloist performing with ensembles such as the Kronos Quartet, the Australian Chamber Orchestra, The Aurora Orchestra, The Oregon Symphony and the Britten Sinfonia.
