Tonight Hugh and I went to see Nico Muhly at the Kitchen. One word. Prodigious. Performing with him was Sam Amidon. Sam’s music is infused with something that can’t be taught…it has a certain ancient soul. A depth, and I don’t mean only to his voice exactly, it’s something else, a certain intangible quality that makes the music feel worn in and timeless. Take a listen to “Saro” and see what I mean.
