SC6 New Music Pick: Amos Lee 'Windows Are Rolled Down'

We Found Another One With SC Roots ...


    Today, we'd like to introduce you to Amos Lee.  He's a folk-rock guy from Philadelphia, but there is reason for South Carolinians to take a little pride in him.  Amos is a 1995 graduate of The University of South Carolina, and it was there that he began to play guitar.  Guess not everyone ends up spending all day at Five Points - but probably a little!  I knew when I heard the lyrics 'I'm fixin' to die', that The South was somewhere in that guy....


    Lee spent 2 years afterwards teaching, but decided to try and give music a shot. It was there that he ran into a little woman named Norah Jones (umpteen Grammy's), and it took off from there. His next album, 'Mission Bell' will be out in January, and this is the first track from it, "Windows Are Rolled Down". Enjoy!
