US indie folk artist Sam Amidon will be supported by local group First Mote at his gig at the Gudde Wëllen.

Sam Amidon is a singer-fiddler-banjoist-guitarist originally hailing from Vermont, US. He has released six solo albums, often reworking traditional American ballads, hymns and work songs.

He has recorded or performed as a guest artist with musicians such as Bon Iver, Emmylou Harris, Tune-Yards, Pekka Kuusisto, and his wife Beth Orton.

Electric baritone guitar and drums meanwhile are at the centre for First Mote, composed of locals Jamie Reinert and Christophe Demart.
