The following day after the first ever Folk Conexions, Sam Lee invites his own band from the UK to play the main stage at Riksscenen. Sam Lee entered the music-scene with his debut album "Ground of its Own" in 2012, and has since continued to re-interpret traditional songs of Irish and Scottish travelers, as well as English gipsy song- and storytelling-traditions. Sam Lee & Friends recently released the EP "More For To Rise" and are to release an full-length album this autumn.
"Sam Lee is surely the most unpredictable and inventive young traditional singer on the British folk scene.."
