The Amigos deliver foot-stomping, accordion-infused Americana music blending folk-rock, zydeco/cajun, and jazz.
The band, comprising Justin Poinndexter, Sam Reider, Noah Garabedian, Will Clark and Briana Thomas, has gone from sold-out shows at Lincoln Center to the Philadelphia Folk Festival and Nashville’s Music City Roots.
After having released their debut album, “Diner In The Sky,” they are now on a five-week tour of Vietnam, China, Cambodia, Laos and Burma as musical ambassadors for the U.S. State Department.
