Lemoncello were asked: “if you had a bucket list of musicians you want to play with, who would you choose first?” The immediate and unanimous answer was Sam Amidon. He’s the US singer-fiddler-banjoist-guitarist who has released six solo albums often consisting of adventurous reworkings of traditional American ballads, hymns and work songs, with contributions from musicians such as composer Nico Muhly and guitarist Bill Frisell. He has also recorded or performed as a guest artist with musicians such as Bon Iver, Emmylou Harris, and Amidon’s wife Beth Orton.
Remember, the talent continues tomorrow at the Lemoncello curated Super Sunday, presenting musician and minimalist/ambient composer Gareth Quinn Redmond, and the bohemian-surrealist-dream tinged project, Baby Witch.
