Sam Amidon has announced an Australian tour in January on the back of his support shows with Beth Oroton and Sydney Festival appearance. Bringing a calm vocal to his work, along with a vast collection of instrumental talent, Sam puts folk classics in a new light.
Born and raised in Brattleboro, Vermont by folk musicians Peter and Mary Alice Amidon, he has released three albums of radically re-worked folksongs: But This Chicken Proved Falsehearted, in 2006; All Is Well in 2008; and, most recently, I See The Sign in 2010, recorded in Iceland with producer Valgeir Sigurðsson.
Sam Amidon is currently London-based and finishing work on a new album.
