Amos Lee is a Philadelphia born singer/songwriter with a soulfully smooth voice. His self titled debut album was released in 2005 and since then, he has opened for such acts as Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, B.B. King, Paul Simon, Merle Haggard, John Prine, and an extended tour with Norah Jones. Not a bad start for this relative new comer.
His musical style is primarily acoustic, set to guitar, piano and a bit of percussions. He tends to stick pretty close to the folksy soul style while occasionally bringing a little funk to the mix. For you fans of the “ARC Angles”, Amos Lee’s latest album “Last Day at the Lodge” has Doyle Bramhall II playing guitar.
If you watch much television, you might have heard Lee’s music on“Grey’s Anatomy”, “Studio 60”, “E.R.”, “Army Wives”, “Brothers and Sisters”, and “Six Degrees”.
Lee has a great musical DVD “Amos Lee Live from Austin TX” that has tracks from his first two albums and really showcases his talent.

Amos Lee is great! I’m from the Philly area, notoriously light on new, valid artists these days…but Amos is the real deal. There is a great jazzy/folk singer/songwriter making the rounds named Mutlu who is worth a look. BTW, great site!!!

You article most definitely was one of the high parts of my Saturday. I was on Google searching for something totally unrelated when the post caught my attention. I’m glad I took the time to read your post! Feel free to comment on my blog at Singorama Review!
