Singer-songwriter
Amos Lee grew up in Philadelphia and went to college in South Carolina, honing a gritty but melodic voice and getting to know the roots of American music along the way. His songs are steeped in influences from classic artists like Bill Withers, John Prine, Stevie Wonder, and Neil Young. But like his fellow country-soul-folk-jazz singer Norah Jones, who discovered him, Amos puts it all together into something personal. He's now on tour with music from his searching, spiritual new release, "Mission Bell." The album features guest appearances by Willie Nelson, Lucinda Williams, Sam Beam, Priscilla Ahn, Pieta Brown, and Calexico, among others.
The Secret Sisters are a indie-folk music duo, consisting of vocalists Laura and Lydia Rogers, signed to Universal Republic/Beladroit Records. Their 1950's-inspired musical style has been described as "a guileless, rapturous mixture of rootsified pop". The critically-acclaimed duo's music has been compared to artists like The Everly Brothers and Doc Watson. Their self-titled debut album was released on October 12th, 2010.
