Amos’ episode of “Acoustic Café” will air on 90+ radio stations the week of January 27 (visit http://www.acafe.com/ for details). Mountains Of Sorrow, Rivers Of Song (Blue Note Records), his new album, has topped the Americana chart for the past two months.

 

Lee will kick off the next leg of his tour on February 15 at the McDonald Theatre in Eugene, OR. The outing will include shows at The Wiltern in Los Angeles (February 21) and the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY (April 19). Amos is donating $1 from each ticket sold for the tour to Musicians On Call (www.musiciansoncall.org/amos), a non-profit organization that brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities. Lee will play a series of European dates in May, including two sold out shows at Paradiso in Amsterdam, and perform at numerous festivals this summer, including The Hangout Beach, Music and Arts Festival (5/16-18) and Firefly Music Festival (6/19-22). See below for itinerary.

 

Mountains Of Sorrow, Rivers Of Song is the follow-up to 2011’s chart-topping Mission Bell. The New York Times hailed it as a “serenely sure-footed effort from Amos Lee, a singer-songwriter who rarely delivers anything else” and Elmore observed, “‘Mountains of Sorrow’ may be Lee’s finest yet.” Entertainment Weekly praised his “strikingly soulful voice” while Paste noted, “Lee makes sorrow shimmer…Like Jackson Browne for another generation, Lee understands the staining traces of love.” The album was produced by Jay Joyce (Emmylou Harris, Eric Church, Cage the Elephant) and features guest vocals by Alison Krauss and Patty Griffin.
