Amos Lee with special guest Mikaela Davis at American Music Theatre

Amos Lee, born Ryan Anthony Massaro, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has carved a niche for himself in the music industry with his distinctive blend of folk, rock, soul, and jazz. Known for his smooth voice and emotionally rich songwriting, Lee’s journey from a humble teaching background to becoming a renowned singer-songwriter is a testament to his talent and perseverance.

Lee’s big break came when he was discovered by Norah Jones’ bassist, Lee Alexander, at an open mic night in New York City. Impressed by his talent, Alexander introduced Lee to Jones, who invited him to open for her on tour. This opportunity catapulted Lee into the spotlight and helped him secure a recording contract with Blue Note Records.

In 2005, Amos Lee released his self-titled debut album, which received critical acclaim and showcased his gift for blending soulful vocals with heartfelt lyrics. The album’s success led to tours with legendary artists such as Bob Dylan and Elvis Costello, further solidifying Lee’s position in the music world. Lee’s follow-up albums, including “Supply and Demand” (2006), “Last Days at the Lodge” (2008), “Mission Bell” (2011), which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, “Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song” (2013), and “Spirit” (2016), have continued to earn praise for their depth, sincerity, and musical diversity. Each record explores new themes and sounds, reflecting Lee’s growth as an artist and his willingness to experiment while staying true to his roots.

Mikaela Davis is a talented American harpist, singer-songwriter, and musician, known for her unique blend of indie pop, folk, and rock music with the classical harp. She stands out in the indie music scene for her ethereal vocals, intricate harp playing, and skillful songwriting, which often explores themes of love, self-discovery, and emotional introspection.

She released her debut album, “Harp and Plow,” in 2012, which caught the attention of music lovers and critics for its innovative fusion of classical harp music with contemporary indie and folk sounds. However, it was her subsequent releases, including her 2018 album “Delivery,” that truly established her as a force in the indie music scene. “Delivery” showcases Davis’s growth as an artist, featuring a more polished sound that seamlessly blends pop, rock, and psychedelic influences, while still highlighting her mastery of the harp.
