Sam Amidon

Sam Amidon, In The Studio

Soundcheck | May 15, 2013

Folk musician Sam Amidon can't be contained to just one instrument. On his latest album, Bright Sunny South, he plays banjo, fiddle, acoustic guitar, and piano. He also sprinkles in horns and drums to fatten up the sound in key places, sometimes emphasizing the "bright and sunny of the album," but at other times taking a more subdued and reflective note. 

Set List:

  • "I Wish I Wish"
  • "As I Roved Out"
  • "Short Life"

Sam Amidon plays Le Poisson Rouge on Thursday night.
