Sam Amidon live in New York

Experience Sam Amidon live on June 24th

Sam Amidon will perform at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City on June 24, 2026. Amidon is a Vermont-based musician known for his distinctive interpretations of traditional American folk music, often described as blending old-time sounds with contemporary influences like jazz and electronic music. His work frequently incorporates looping, vocal processing, and unconventional instrumentation alongside banjo, guitar, and fiddle. He is recognized for reinterpreting traditional ballads and hymns, creating a sound that is both deeply rooted in history and strikingly modern.

Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts opened in 1962 and comprises a complex of buildings housing multiple performance venues. These include David Geffen Hall (home to the New York Philharmonic), the Metropolitan Opera House, Avery Fisher Hall (currently David Geffen Hall), the New York State Theater (now David H. Koch Theater), and others dedicated to chamber music, jazz, and film. The center was conceived as a unifying force for performing arts organizations in New York City and has since become a globally recognized cultural landmark. It underwent significant renovations completed in 2022 focusing on accessibility and public spaces.
