We all believe in the power of music — to uplift, to heal, to console, and to change the world. Amos Lee took this all on as a mission and used the power of song to tell stories on his seventh album, My New Moon. It features 10 different stories, which are all very personal and unique, whether they're from his own life or the experiences of the people he's met.

The narrative of My New Moon is delivered with the honest, authentic, and soul-filled voice and words his admirers have come to love since Lee's self-titled EP in 2004. He has always led with his heart, and with these new songs — and in this solo, acoustic performance — it was on full display.

The lucky audience at the Heath at The McKittrick Hotel was also treated to a powerful new song that didn't make the album, "Dying White Light." Listen and watch video below.
