Amidon plays guitar, banjo and fiddle, and has collaborated with the likes of Glen Hansard and Beth Orton. Amidon is distinct for his talent in the fields of free jazz and drone minimalism. He has released three albums of radically reworked folk songs (and an earlier one – his debut Solo Fiddle), the last two of which were recorded in Iceland with producer Valgeir Sigurðsson (Bjork, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy). He is set to release a new album in coming months.
