On June 26, WFHB welcomed experimental folk musician Sam Amidon into the studio for a Firehouse Session. Host Abby Noroozi sat down with Sam to talk about his new album Salt River, growing up steeped in folk traditions in his home state of Vermont, and his life now in London.

Sam shared stories about learning to play the violin at just three years old, his deep connection to folk music, and how those roots continue to shape his art today. The conversation also touched on his partnership with folktronica artist Beth Orton, to whom he is married, and the ways their creative worlds intersect.

His performance and reflections made for a session that was both intimate and illuminating, offering listeners a window into the craft of a singular voice in contemporary folk music.
