Amos Lee in Des Moines

Amos Lee show last night at People's (first club show since I don't know when for Heather and me) was short but good.

He had an urgency in the performance that pushed solidly into the rock, blues and (especially) soul flavors that are in all of his material; it was not a 'folk' show. We missed Priscilla Ahn's opener, but her contribution to Black River was magical. I'm convinced that Iowans have a connection to river songs... the crowd actually went silent and soaked up that tune.

Anyway, thumbs up for Amos Lee -- a guy we found while Googling our son's name.
