Amos Lee Day



I am officially naming today Amos Lee Day in SLC. He's actually performing today, but I decided that maybe I should be responsible and not stay up freakishly late at a concert the night before an eight o'clock final. I hate being responsible. Anyway, Amos Lee is amazing. Such a beautiful voice and his songs are so powerful. My favorites are: Night Train, Speed of Sound of Loneliness, Black River, and Arms of a Woman. Amos used to be a school teacher before he decided that he just wasn't cut out for the job and now he's making amazing music instead. Here's a couple of links to music/interview sessions he did for KCRW if you're interested:
