Taking inspiration from soul greats Stevie Wonder and Bill Withers, and folk legends John Prine and Dave Van Ronk, Amos Lee delivers a unique brand of folk-soul music that aims to unite, uplift, and inspire. Lee’s self-titled debut album was released in March 2005. The album found significant commercial success, hitting a peak of No. 2 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart. Later that month he was named one of Rolling Stone's "Top 10 Artists to Watch." Last Days at the Lodge is Amos Lee's third record, following his first two critically acclaimed and tremendously successful records.
Last Days at the Lodge finds Lee honing and emphasizing all the things that earned him his strong fanbase from the get go: his singing is rich, direct and confident, the songs are sharply crafted, the melodies memorable and crisp, the lyrics focused. The production is fuller and less sparse, but the atmosphere remains uncluttered.
A great deal of the current evolution of Lee's sound can certainly be attributed to the large amount of time he has spent on the road over the last four years. From several worldwide headlining tours to supporting slots with the likes of Bob Dylan, Merle Haggard, Van Morrison and Paul Simon, his education on stage has been deep. He has been featured in the New York Times, been hailed as an artist to watch in Rolling Stone, and has performed several times on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno as well as The Late Show with David Letterman as well as The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Catch him at his best in this historic room - it'll be a treat.
