Inspired in part by time spent studying with the Pulitzer Prize-winning Irish poet Paul Muldoon, the album garnered rave reviews on both sides of the pond, with NPR inviting D\u2019Amato for a <\/span>Tiny Desk Concert<\/span><\/i> and lauding that \u201che writes in the tradition of Bruce Springsteen or Josh Ritter” and <\/span>Uncut <\/span><\/i>proclaiming that his songwriting “echoes with early Bob Dylan.” D\u2019Amato followed it up in 2016 with the Mike Mogis-produced <\/span>Cold Snap<\/span><\/i>, which featured contributions from an all-star cast of Omaha musicians, including Conor Oberst and members of Bright Eyes, Cursive, and The Faint.

Songs from D\u2019Amato\u2019s solo albums, meanwhile, have racked up more than 10 million streams on Spotify alone and landed him headline and festival performances in the United States, Europe, and Australia, as well as support dates with Ben Folds, Valerie June, Shovels & Rope, The Old 97’s, American Aquarium, The Felice Brothers, Tyler Childers, Langhorne Slim, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n D\u2019Amato\u2019s latest collection is <\/span>Five Songs From New Orleans<\/span><\/i>, a stripped-down, acoustic EP recorded in the living room of a historic 1860s Garden District home. Praised as \u201cstunning\u201d by <\/span>Billboard<\/span><\/i>, the collection is a raw, unfiltered affair that draws on an eclectic array of New Orleans sounds, from Cajun fiddle and traditional jazz to classic country and fingerpicked folk.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","excerpt":" Over the past two decades, Keb\u2019 Mo\u2019 has cultivated a reputation as a modern master of American roots music through the understated excellence of his live and studio performances.
