For over 50 years, Leo Kottke has been wowing audiences with a signature fingerpicking style that draws on jazz, blues, and folk music, with syncopated, polyphonic melodies. He overcame a series of personal obstacles – including partial loss of hearing and a nearly career-ending bout with tendon damage in his right hand – to record over a dozen critically acclaimed albums earning two Grammy nominations, an international following, and a seat among America’s great guitar masters, beloved singer-songwriters, and storytellers.
