The Southgate House Revival - Sanctuary · Newport $38.18

About this event

Hiss Golden Messenger I’m People Tour with Sam Amidon brings M.C. Taylor’s North Carolina-rooted Americana project to The Southgate House Revival - Sanctuary in Newport, just across the river from Cincinnati. The bill pairs Hiss Golden Messenger’s folk, country, soul and gospel-informed songwriting with Sam Amidon, a folk singer and multi-instrumentalist whose work centers banjo, guitar and fiddle.

Who's playing

Hiss Golden Messenger is the long-running musical project led by singer, songwriter and producer M.C. Taylor. Sam Amidon joins the tour, adding a folk-oriented set from an artist associated with voice, banjo, guitar and fiddle.

What to expect

The I’m People Tour centers on Taylor’s reflective songwriting, with the project’s public event description pointing to resilience, community, radical hopefulness and everyday human moments as themes around the forthcoming I’m People. Musically, expect a blend of Americana, folk, country, soul and gospel influences rather than a single-lane roots show.

Why go

For Cincinnati-area listeners who follow indie folk, Americana and contemporary roots music, this Southgate House Revival - Sanctuary stop offers a focused pairing: Hiss Golden Messenger’s warm, politically aware and personal songwriting alongside Sam Amidon’s traditional-music-informed folk approach.
