Amos Lee: My New Moon

Join acclaimed and bestselling singer-songwriter Amos Lee for a conversation and performance all about his brand-new album, My New Moon. From opening track “No More Darkness, No More Light,” taking on the hope for change that underlies tragic situations and rewritten entirely after the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, to “Little Light,” written for a young girl who beat cancer, My New Moon takes on the deepest challenges and hardships of life. Described by Amos as "an altar of sorts to those who have shared their sorrows with me,” the album reflects the darkness and the light that we all both experience and bring into the world, and how through these personal experiences and hard times, we grow more connected to one another. Don't miss this intimate evening with one of America's premier musicians and songwriters as he shares his songs and perspective with acclaimed music writer Alan Light. Alan Light has been one of America’s leading music journalists for the past twenty years. He was a writer at Rolling Stone, founding music editor and editor-in-chief of Vibe, and editor-in-chief of Spin magazine. He has been a contributor to The New Yorker, GQ, Entertainment Weekly, Elle, and Mother Jones. He is the author of The Skills to Pay the Bills, an oral history of the Beastie Boys; The Holy or the Broken: Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, and the Unlikely Ascent of “Hallelujah”; and co writer of the New York Times bestselling memoir by Gregg Allman, My Cross to Bear.
