Michael Amidei is a musician, author, and podcaster based out of Denver, Colorado. Others skew closer to honky-tonk and western swing, influenced by larger-than-life Texans like Bob Wills and Willie Nelson. Some songs nod to the band's longtime appreciation for mellow, melancholic Americana music. Many of Surrender Hill's songs respond to the modern moment - songs about division, struggle, survival, and redemption, anchored by melodic hooks and diverse arrangements. They aren't just an Americana duo they are full-time world travelers, too, funneling their experiences into the story-driven songs and autobiographical anthems that fill albums like A Whole Lot of Freedom and their latest, Just Another Honky Tonk in a Quiet Western Town. Inner Child Work is caught right at the point of in-between, which I would call healing."Īs the songwriters behind Surrender Hill, Robin and Afton Salmon play more than 200 shows annually, sharpening their blend of soul, country, and rock & roll one gig at a time.
