Philly native Amos Lee — the man Willie Nelson has called “an exceptional artist” and “a true storyteller unique to his generation" —is kicking off his 2011 tour in our soggy corner of the world, armed with his stirring new album Mission Bell. (It doesn’t come out until Jan. 25, but we got a preview at the Triple Door in October. It’s good.)

He’s playing his biggest Seattle show to date at the Moore Theatre on January 20 at 7:30pm, with South African singer-songwriter Vusi Mahlasela opening, and we have a pair of tickets to give away. They might even make a good gift for that Bob Dylan/James Taylor/Stevie Wonder-lovin’ friend of yours.

Here’s how to enter:

1. Email your name and a line from your favorite Amos Lee song to [email protected] by Friday, December 17, at 3pm.

That’s it. We’ll contact the winner that afternoon. If luck isn’t your lady, tickets are $23 at stgpresents.org.
