Guitar Icon Leo Kottke at the Carolina Theatre!

When Friday, October 24, 2008, 8 – 10pm Where Carolina Theatre of Greensboro 310 S. Greene St Greensboro, NC 27401 Note Profoundly original and a little cantankerous, Leo Kottke is a deep-talking Midwestern raconteur whose quick wit is matched by his astounding virtuosity on the six and twelve string guitars. For the past three decades, Kottke has been unfaltering in his pursuit of the unique musical vision that has placed him among the foremost acoustic guitar stylists of our time. Kottke’s ability to embrace folk idioms and pop melodies as readily as he assimilates jazz and classical influences makes him unique among guitar virtuosi. For all its technical brilliance, wicked syncopation and harmonic sophistication, Kottke’s music is eminently accessible. This has been abundantly clear ever since the guitarist’s 1969 debut. “My music is maybe hard to categorize,” Kottke allows. “It doesn’t fit conveniently into the bins at record stores. That works for me, though... I don’t rise and fall with trends. Most listeners seem to have room for this stuff. It’s been great that way.” Link www.carolinatheatre.com
