Leo Kottke
Sunday, March 14, 7 pm
 Leo
Kottke is widely known for his innovative fingerpicking style of guitar
which draws influences from blues, jazz and folk music. Kottke’s 1971
major-label debut Mudlark positioned him somewhat uneasily in the
singer/songwriter vein, despite his own wishes to remain an instrumental
performer. In the liner notes to 1972’s 6 and 12 String Guitar,
he even described his own voice as “geese farts on a foggy day.” In
concert, Kottke combines humorous monologues with vocal and instrumental
selections from his career, creating a concert experience that will
appeal equally to long-time fans and new listeners.
