Amos Lee meets 'Demand' with tour
Singer/songwriter Amos Lee has mapped out a busy end-of-year schedule for himself, with extensive roadwork backing "Supply and Demand," his sophomore set for the Blue Note label.
The Philadelphia native--who spent two months earlier this year opening for Bob Dylan and Merle Haggard on their spring co-headlining tour--will kick off his trek Oct. 12 in Atlanta, with more than 30 shows scheduled over the following two months.
For the follow up to his self-titled 2005 debut, the singer teamed with producer Barrie Maguire, who worked with Lee on his earliest studio work in 2002, to record "Supply and Demand," which hit stores Oct. 3.
"People are always asking what's next, but as a songwriter it can be a bit troubling to get too far ahead of yourself," Lee said in his online bio of avoiding the sophomore jinx after receiving critical acclaim from his first album. "Most of my life these days is spent either performing songs I've already written, thinking about songs that are half finished, or starting new tunes. I'm aware of people's expectations, but my job is to serve the song, and that's what I focus on."
Preview versions of two cuts from "Supply and Demand" are currently streaming at Lee's website.
