Zoh Amba + Lifter

Zoh Amba, an American saxophonist and songwriter, headlines a Bristol bill with Lifter at The Louisiana, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in the city. The evening sits within pop, rock and indie.

Zoh Amba is an American saxophonist from Kingsport, Tennessee, who works as a musician and has led their own ensembles. Their playing draws on avant-garde, noise and devotional influences, and in recent years their writing has moved towards songwriting, acoustic guitar and folk. Their first album, O, Sun, was released in 2022.

The later Matador album Eyes Full combines Appalachian folk and loose acoustic blues with moments of feedback-driven intensity. Its songs deal with memory, identity and home through character-led stories drawn from working-class life. Drummer Jim White and guitarist Kevin Hyland took part in its recording.

The Louisiana hosts concerts and shows in Bristol. Lifter also appears on this bill, and the evening belongs to the pop, rock and indie field.
