Sam Amidon
A contemporary folk musician specialising in guitar, fiddle, and banjo, Sam Amidon is known for both his original songs and his often-ambitious updates of traditional folk tunes.
Regardless of song sources, his reliably textured, atmospheric arrangements include a singing voice that's gentle but evocative.
Samuel Tear, aka Sam Amidon, began playing fiddle at the age of three. Raised by musician parents on a steady diet of Irish and Appalachian folk in Brattleboro, Vermont, he spent the early part of his teens performing and recording traditional dance and avant-folk music with his parents, as well as with his own group, Assembly.
He added banjo and guitar to his repertoire after relocating to New York City, marrying singer/songwriter Beth Orton, moving to Los Angeles before relocating to London with their children.
