Amos Lee Plots Summer Run
That soulful wanderer Amos Lee has booked several weeks worth of performances in the U.S. this summer. The routing includes gigs with Lake Street Dive, Spoon, Joseph, and the Colorado Symphony Orchestra.
The first place you can catch Mr. Lee is at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in The Big Easy April 29. After that he has a special, one-night performance with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra at Colorado’s iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre July 16, with support from Joseph.
There are then four co-headline dates planned with Lake Street Dive July 24-28 in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. He is also taking the stage in Amos Lee & Friends which will feature rockers Spoon and Preservation Hall Jazz Band at XPoNential Music Festival in Camden, N.J., July 29.
The last 2017 shows currently locked in for the former Pollstar HotStar consist of a three-night run Nov. 9-11 at Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville.
Lee has been releasing studio albums for 12 years and the sets for these shows are likely to include material from his 2016 LP, Spirit.
