The Artists Den And EMI To Release Amos Lee Live DVD On Mar. 12
Now released in full for the first time, the DVD features bonus interview clips and concert footage not included in the television broadcast, including guest appearances by local heroes Calexico (who also appeared on Lee's most recent album Mission Bell, which was also produced by the band's Joey Burns) and the Silver Thread Trio and a stunning rendition of Willie Nelson and Ray Charles' "Seven Spanish Angels." The release comes on the heels of Live from the Artists Den's debut in Japan and an epic Artists Den taping with legendary rock band Soundgarden during the final show of the group's US tour. Amos Lee: Live from the Artists Den is the seventh concert DVD release from Artists Den Entertainment, following Robert Plant & the Band of Joy: Live from the Artists Den, which debuted in the Top 5 of the Billboard Music DVD charts. This product is available for pre-order at the Artists Den store (bit.ly/UUFkr1), Barnes & Noble (bit.ly/WQY1MD), and Amazon (amzn.to/TGUT5w). Since the release of the Amos Lee album in 2005, the Philadelphia-born and -based former schoolteacher has been one of his generation's most celebrated songwriters. After being named one of Rolling Stone's "Top 10 Artists to Watch," Lee quickly went on to tour with such giants as Bob Dylan, Merle Haggard, Paul Simon, and Elvis Costello. His next two albums-Supply and Demand (2006) and Last Days at the Lodge (2008)-continued to extend his audience and his reputation, and he's gone on to collaborate with everyone from Willie Nelson and Norah Jones to Lucinda Williams and Zac Brown. 2011's Mission Bell was a dramatic leap forward for Lee, debuting at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 and garnering the best reviews of his career. The performance captured in Amos Lee: Live from the Artists Den was filmed at the Fox Theatre, which opened in 1930 as Tucson's premier venue for vaudeville and film. Shuttered and left to decay for 26 years, the newly renovated Fox reopened its doors on New Years Eve in 2005. On a sweltering night in the desert, Amos Lee made a triumphant return to Tucson, the city where he recorded Mission Bell. The subsequent concert ranged from solo showcases to arrangements for a dozen musicians and featured highlights from Lee's latest album, as well as some of the finest songs from his catalogue. "It's just an incredible opportunity to be in these kinds of venues," Amos Lee says in the interview included in the film. "There's so much history in these rooms – not only for the music, but just for the life that's passed through them ... All of these things kind of factor in to that moment you step on stage."
