Leo Kottke

Leo Kottke has earned a reputation as a premier finger-picker, slide master, and 12-string virtuoso.

Known for adding a bit of humor and troubadour-style storytelling to his live performances, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to experience Kottke in the intimate setting of The Paramount.

Technically and tool-wise, Leo Kottke belongs in the subculture of (mostly) instrumental steel-string guitarists of a loosely progressive folk nature. But the tools don’t make — or tightly define — this musician, a blissfully odd man out in the guitar scene for the past 50 years. Kottke has defined his own school of cool.
