Bio
"Amos Fortune is a testament that rock, blues and folk music fits together perfectly."
"Amos Fortune may be a new name in the thriving New England music world, but they're a group of familiar faces. Comprised of former members of many different bands from many different genres, they've owned countless stages throughout New England, across the United States, and even abroad. Amos Fortune is a charismatic fusing of elements of driving rock, melodic folk, cool funk, and dirty electric blues, blended into a incendiary whirlwind of energy, emotion and euphoria. Cole's gritty soulful voice shines over tight grooves and soaring solos. Kayne's lead guitar screams with the classic flair reminiscent of the greats of the 60's and 70's while Eric's bass rumbles with his funky virtuosity. Josh powers through the mix with his authoritative rhythm guitar and Tom drives everything home with a solid backbeat behind the drums."
