AMOS LEE to Perform at The State THIS WEDNESDAY April 29th!

Just announced earlier this week, Amos Lee will preforming at The State Theatre this April 29th at 8:00 PM. In case you don't know much about Amos Lee, just look below for a bio as well as some videos of him preforming:

Singer/songwriter Amos Lee draws inspiration from such soul and folk artists of the '70s as Bill Withers, John Prine, Neil Young, and James Taylor. The Philadelphia native first became serious about performing while attending the University of South Carolina during the mid-'90s. After graduating, the English major taught elementary school before deciding to pursue a music career full-time. A period of waiting tables and bartending followed as Lee honed his songwriting skills. Eventually, he landed some high-profile opening-slot gigs including an extended tour with pianist/vocalist Norah Jones. He released his eponymous debut album on Blue Note in 2005. Supply And Demand followed in 2006.
