Sam’s from Vermont, US and is now based in London. His reliably textured, atmospheric arrangements include a singing voice that's gentle but evocative.Sam’s material for his eight very successful albums often consists of adventurous reworkings of traditional American ballads, hymns, and work songs, with the New York Times writing that Amidon “transforms all of the songs, changing their colors and loading them with trapdoors.” We’re big fans of Sam’s music and excited he will be opening the De Beauvoir Jazz Festival this year.Sam’s first album of all-original material, 2017's The Following Mountain, found him working with veteran jazz musicians to create a darker and more experimental vision. He mixed traditional works, contemporary folk, and songs originally by Yoko Ono, Ornette Coleman, and Lou Reed on 2025's Salt River. He’s recently wrapped up work on the film History of Sound, starring Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor, for which he served as a consultant and musician. Sam Amidon has recorded or performed as a guest artist with musicians such as Bon Iver, The National, The Blind Boys of Alabama, The Gloaming, Lonnie Holley, Manami Kakudo, Jacob Collier, Marc Ribot, and Beth Orton, among many others. He has appeared internationally as a soloist with ensembles such as the Kronos Quartet, The Aurora Orchestra, the Australian Chamber Orchestra with Pekka Kuusisto, The Scottish Chamber Orchestra, the Oregon Symphony, Roomful of Teeth, and the Britten Sinfonia.Date: 10th JulyVenue: St Peter's ChurchTimings: 7pm-9pmDe Beauvoir Jazz Festival is an independent, neighbourhood-scale jazz festival in East London, building something distinctive at the intersection of music, place and community.
