Amos Lee is an American singer-songwriter whose musical style encompasses folk, soul and rock. Born in Philadelphia this astonishing musician worked as a schoolteacher and a bartender before beginning to pursue a career in music. All of his albums, including his fourth most recent album, Mission Bell, are filled with folk and soul with a jazz twist. It is this unique combination that fits Amos Lee in to a before undiscovered and un-entered genre. His voice and music is reminiscent of Ray LaMontagne and David Gray, involving the same soulful voices and heart wrenching lyrics. On some of his songs including his incredible song 'Sweet Pea' his voice and musical ensemble sounds like a perfect combination of Jack Johnson and Bill Withers, which although shouldn't sound right, really does sound amazing.
