The following text is from the concert's story page on NPR Music:
Philadelphia's Amos Lee has enjoyed a remarkable rise in recent years, completing the unlikely journey from "just another laid-back, likable, guitar-slinging singer-songwriter" to "best-selling touring warhorse." But Lee has done just that, joining the ranks of Jack Johnson among guys who've managed to break through the din of soul- and folk-inspired singers and really connect with gigantic swaths of the public. Lee's latest album is the hooky, honest and introspective Mission Bell, a record he's sure to mine for highlights when he plays the 2011 Newport Folk Festival in Newport, R.I.
Set List:
- El Camino
- Flower
- Street Corner
- Behind Me Now/Careless
- Loose Tight
- Truth
- Low Down Life
- The Wind
- Jesus
- Clear Blue Eyes
- Windows Are Rolled Down
Recorded live at the Newport Folk Festival on Saturday, July 31.
Available for free to NPR member stations for broadcast, up to 2 times in 3 years. If you're not an NPR member station, contact programservices@npr.org.
