Amos Lee crooned a soulful performance that brought crowds to a standing ovation Friday night at the Wiltern Theater, Los Angeles. The 36-year-old singer-songwriter garnered a crowd older than the typical fare who frequent the popular Wiltern venue; older fans and couples from all over Southern California made the trek to L.A. to watch the show.

Lee, wearing his trademark spectacles, a simple navy henley and a black vest-pant combo, kept the performance theatrics at a minimum.

Accompanied by five additional band members, an assortment of instruments and not much else, Lee focused his performance purely on the sound and received rave reviews. His unique voice offered a raspy dimensional sound that complemented his set performances, which included close to 26 instruments on stage ranging from the banjo to a side guitar.

The Philadelphia-born singer performed tracks spanning all four of his albums including crowd favorites "Sweet Pea," "Arms of a Woman," and "Windows Are Rolled Down." Despite an older crowd, the environment of the theater offered a new buzz.

Unlike younger concert-goers, keen on documenting every moment with cameras and smartphones, the Amos Lee fans focused on living in the moment rather than documenting the performance for later.

"It's rare nowadays to see a true musician focus on just the music and talent and not the celebrity," comments Rachel Kaye, a fan from Brentwood, California. "I came to this show tonight almost afraid that I'd romanticized his ability to perform as an artist and would be let down, but he absolutely did not disappoint."

Kaye, along with others who came to the show last night, were true testaments of Lee's loyal fan following, many who have followed his music for close to a decade or more. Several fans, including Tim Nolan from Tustin as well as Mark and Katy Curry from Simi Valley, made the commute across SoCal to see the singer perform.

According to Nolan, who will fly to Nevada in a few days to see Lee's Las Vegas show, every performance offers something new to him. "He draws on so many different genres and blends it into what he's singing, and can turn a street corner preacher into a hard rock song just like that. I want to see where he is five years from now and wouldn't be surprised to see him take his music to a whole different level."

Lee, accompanied by his opening performer Langhorne Slim, is touring on the road as part of his Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song tour, which makes stops in San Diego, Las Vegas and Austin.
