(Cambridge)Highly inventive singer and folk song interpreter Sam Lee heads to Club Passim for a special show on April 1st. Sam is a mainstay on the British folk scene and is set to play a limited number of US shows in support of his latest album “Old Wow.” Sam will be joined on stage by Dietrich Strause, Jenna Moynihan, Sean Trischka, and Grace Ward.
Alongside his organization, The Nest Collective, and fellow collaborators, Sam has shaken up the live music scene breaking the boundaries between folk and contemporary music and the assumed place and way folk is heard. He’s injected a renewed passion into this old material, helping to develop its ecosystem by not only inviting in a new listenership but also interrogating what the messages in these old songs hold for us today. With his latest album, “Old Wow”, he’s summoned up a truly compelling and emotional album that takes his work to yet another level.
