2023/2024 Season
With one foot in the real world and the other in a charmed dimension of his own making, singer-songwriter Amos Lee creates a rare kind of music that’s emotionally raw and touched with a certain magical quality. Open and honest, Lee’s beautifully weathered voice takes the audience into his world where melodies and beats are inspired by soul, contemporary jazz, and ‘70s folk. Fans of Ben Harper, Ray LaMontagne, Lizz Wright, Leon Bridges, Hozier, and Norah Jones will happily absorb every note this Philadelphia-born artist delivers into the ether of the theatre.
With special guest Mutlu
With his silk-like vocals, Mutlu gently showers over melodies like rain. This Philadelphia native combines his Philly-soul style with elements of folk, reggae, and rock, creating a cohesive blend of music that has a retro sound. He is a long-time collaborator with Amos Lee and has shared the stage with Adele, Katy Perry, John Hiatt, and many others.
More about Amos Lee
On his eighth album Dreamland, the Philadelphia-born singer/songwriter intimately documents his real-world struggles (alienation, anxiety, loneliness, despair), an outpouring born from deliberate and often painful self-examination. “For most of my life I’ve walked into rooms thinking, ‘I don’t belong here,’” says Lee. “I’ve come to the realization that I’m too comfortable as an isolated person, and I want to reach out more. This record came from questioning my connections to other people, to myself, to my past, and to the future.” All throughout Dreamland, Lee embraces an unfettered honesty, repeatedly shedding light on the darkest corners of his psyche. And with the release of Dreamland, Lee hopes that his songs might inspire others to live more fully and free of fear.
