Sam Amidon Plans Spring Tour Amid Album Anticipation

Sam Amidon is a singer and multi-instrumentalist (banjo, guitar, fiddle) from Vermont, now based in London, England. He has released seven acclaimed solo albums of songs on Bedroom Community and Nonesuch Records, the most recent of which is 2020’s Sam Amidon. He is currently working on a new album to be released this year. In anticipation, Sam has announced a Spring tour with many special stops, themes and guests along the way.

“I will have my trusty compatriot and fellow expat, drummer and soundseer, Chris Vatalaro, with me for the duration of the East Coast run,” Amidon explains. He will start his journey at Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, TN, with Shahzad Ismaily and Beth Orton joining him.

In Sam’s own words:

“I am heading out on a wandering springtime adventure across the US in March and April”

Amidon continues, “As a duo we will swing by The Parlor Room in Northampton MA, and the wonderful word Barn in Exeter, NH. At Levon’s Barn in Woodstock, NY we will have a special night of music with Josh Kaufman (he of the wondrous Bonny Light Horseman), UK folk icon Bridget St John, and Annie Nero, what a gang!”
