The Bob and Sarah Amos Band presents a high-caliber, highly enjoyable concert experience featuring exciting bluegrass instrumentation, stellar harmony vocals, top-notch original material, plus creative arrangements of traditional songs, and an engaging and entertaining stage show. The quintet features Sarah Amos on vocals, Bob Amos on banjo, guitar and vocals, plus longtime New England musical veterans Andy Greene on guitar, Kirk Lord on bass and Bob Dick on mandolin.

Bob Amos is a longtime veteran of the national Americana and Bluegrass scene, having led the acclaimed band and Sugar Hill recording artists Front Range for fifteen years (1988-2003), and he is widely regarded as one of the top singer-songwriters in the bluegrass landscape. Sarah Amos is a vocalist of exceptional expression and power, and together with her Dad produce a duet vocal blend that has been called "mesmerizing".

The father-daughter duo's current album Ever Onward  has received terrific reviews. Robert Resnik, host of Vermont Public's All The Traditions radio show, has described their music as "...heavenly harmonies and glorious songwriting. Every song is toe-curlingly beautiful". The lead off song on the album, "The Hills That I Call Home", written by Bob Amos, reached #1 on the Folk Alliance International radio song chart in July of 2023.
