Good story. The article describes Amos as a “cult singer”. I hope that’s a good thing.
Yes, I think it is. Lucinda’s fans are often described as a cult like following. 😀
The Adele shows are all sold out. She became a fan of his while appearing after they met in Nashville, even blogged about him on her website. I think it’s safe to say he was handpicked to open for her.

I’ve been a fan of Amos’s since 2006. I almost saw him late 2005 after going to a Stoll Vaughan show in Louisville right after he came off the Mellencamp/Fogerty tour. My friend and I were chatting with Stoll very briefly before his show, and he told us he had tickets to see Amos Lee over at another club, that he had run into him at WFPK’s studio while doing an On Air, and Amos had comped him some tickets. Afterwards, Stoll offered my friend and I the tickets, he said it was probably too late (for him) to show up but we might be able to catch him. We declined, telling Stoll we came to see him. However, it was on MySpace I saw Amos somewhere, remembered his name, and started listening to his tracks, and the rest is history. HOOKED.
I like your idea of keeping each other posted on opposite coast shows! I’m hoping he goes back into studio to record his next record. He mentioned in Nashville at his Ryman show he had high hopes to come back and record his next album in Music City.
Somehow I missed this thread. Very cool find, love the artwork, and good to know my basement could have been the beginning of many more Lu rarity finds!
Thx for the report, Tony!
Here is a short little informative interview about the making of “Mission Bell.”
Joey Burns of Calexico co produced “Mission Bell.” Amos recorded at Wavelab Studios in Tucson.

Zach is a really nice kid. I spoke with him several times in the past after shows, outside the bus, waiting on Amos.
Too bad you’re on one coast and I on another. It sounds like we could be Amos concert buds!

I found these photos of Twownes while looking at some recent Mellencamp ones on a fan’s flickr site.
Five in all, dating from 1994. Two are with Joe Ely.

A collection of fantastic photos including Bob Dylan

Have you entered yet to win, Lafayette ?
The “Secret” show in Tucson.
Not valid for Canadian entries.
Wonder if airfare+ accomodations are included ? 😆

Air fare and accommodations are not included. My guess is they pull from the locals as someone who will *win* this contest.
I doubt I make any more Amos shows this tour. 🙁 The AMA’s, 2 Mellencamp shows and a Lu show, all within a short time frame, means few kitchen passes left to be issued.

Experience Track 29.
Why, yes – I think I will do just that! 😆

I do believe the four horsemen will be saddling up for Chattanooga.
Chatanooga is a brand new venue. If the sound is as awesome as they claim it will be…mama will be happy. I’m leaning towards this show.
stoger…how about Chatanooga choo choo?

Track 29 – world-class entertainment in a world-class venue
Atlanta has the Tabernacle, Knoxville the Valarium, Nashville the Mercy Lounge and Cannery, Birmingham has Work/Play and Asheville has the critically acclaimed Orange Peel. Now, Chattanooga joins the ranks of world-class entertainment venue locations with our very own Track 29.
Featuring national touring acts in an intimate setting, Track 29’s state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems provide an experience much more on the scale and quality of a concert than a club show. A custom line-array sound system combines the efforts of each and every speaker in the room to make the show sound incredible no matter where you happen to be standing. And, the lighting configurations are simply mind-blowing to say the least.
In addition to an amazing show, you’ll enjoy ample parking with 900 on-location spaces and plenty more close by, a full bar with beer, wine and liquor, convenient coat check and even a sound-equipped outdoor smoking area. Plus, for the ultimate concert experience, rent one of Track 29’s VIP skyboxes with comfortable seating, dedicated servers, private restroom facilities and a bird’s eye view of the stage.
Therefore, in addition to a great concert experience for the fan, Track 29 offers hard-working touring acts comfortable dressing room facilities with couches, showers, washers and dryers and Internet access. Track 29 enlists top promoters like Bonnaroo organizers AC Entertainment to help coordinate its schedule of acts. And, Track 29 utilizes DV Communications and Paul Gussack, who each year manages Bonnaroo’s second largest stage, to provide sound and lighting services on the specifications and quality of a typical national touring rider contract.
Experience world-class entertainment in a world-class venue. Experience Track 29.
tnt–you usually understand stoger speak…
I may regret not getting tix to this one. Still holding out something else works out.
The volunteer work I do, lwj, pales in comparison to yours. Kudos to you!
We didn’t drive, past my 8 hour rule of thumb. Air fare was within our budget.
I had on a (cheap) fedora type straw hat this year. 😀
Farm Aid will be uploading videos to their YouTube channel soon.
