Now playing on Desert Islands: "Sugar Baby" by Sam Amidon

We’re getting going slightly this morning by building “a log cabin on a mountain so high.” Of course there’s that warbling cuckoo there, that symbol of infidelity, but “she’ll never say cuckoo ‘till the 4th of July.” By @samamidon.bsky.social on #SpinThisHouse #FolkMusic youtu.be/xzEur-Af-P0?...

Ghost Train 🚊 Orchestra with Karen Mantler, Joan as Police Woman, & Sam Amidon at the historic Tennessee Theatre. Arrangements of the music of Moondog. Fabulous!! #bigears #bigears2026

Hard to classify and deliberately so, Willows brings together Pekka Kuusisto, the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, and folk singer Sam Amidon in a programme that moves freely between classical repertoire, contemporary music and American folk songs. Read at moto-perpetuo.com/top-releases...

Heard this most beautiful, hopeful song today, "Days of War" by Moira Smiley & Sam Amidon. Something I really needed in these times. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARbq...

Today's music lesson for all y'all guitarists…

It's funny we spend so much time in "standard tuning" when the following players were rarely in it: Curtis Mayfield (F#A#C#F#A#F#), Keith Richards / Ry Cooder (DGDGBD), Joni Mitchell (DAEF#AD), Skip James (DADFAD), Nick Drake etc -and even Jimi was a half step down from standard

Listen back to In Tune !

I always appreciate Tom Huizinga when he's on NPR Music programming. This piece is beautifully, and fittingly, written about an incredible album released just yesterday. Willows, by violinist Pekka Kuusisto, the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, and the wonderful Sam Amidon on vocals.

Lovely new album from Pekka Kuusisto featuring @samamidon.bsky.social and others. Reminds me of my mum taking me to hear Pekka play @nicomuhly.com in Cambridge with the @brittensinfonia.bsky.social and her excitement at hearing his playing. Recommended. open.spotify.com/album/6V3nSG...

A beautiful article about the writer's search for his father's voice, inspired by his viewing of the film The History Of Sound.

My parents, Peter and Mary Alice Amidon, made a series of classic albums of folk music for children and families in the 80s and 90s. You can now find them on bandcamp! amidonmusicpublishing.bandcamp.com

Ok - chicken butchering soundtrack I got Magnetic Fields - a chicken with its head cut off Sam Amidon etc - this chicken proved false hearted What else?

This is my current website - samamidonmusic.com - find all tour dates and ticket links there!

IN CONVERSATION WITH: Sam Amidon @KingsPlace "I’m interested in creativity, I’m interested in inspiration, I’m interesting in collaborating with musicians I love and who bring me joy" #interview #whatsonlondon #music

As soon as I wake up from this nap I’m gonna hit the ROAD see you all out there 🪕

Part of the reason I hate people doing their cultural reviews of the year in November is that every now and again the must beautiful song of the year gets released in December. This is an absolute gem from @samamidon.bsky.social and Ganavya, so heartfelt and healing.

Cussetta (73t in The Sacred Harp!) live in Brixton with Dijon and band last Thursday:

The History of Sound is out now in the UK and streamable on Mubi and elsewhere in the US. Here's a piece I just wrote for the Guardian about my experience working on the film:

Had a blast sitting in with Dijon and his band in Brixton last night !

Top 20: Sam Amidon - Salt River Not sure any other record this year made me feel the sense of peace this one did. Friends and neighbours, that's where it's at.
