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

Recorded live at the Newport Folk Festival on Saturday, July 31.
