Leo Kottke (born September 11, 1945) is an American acoustic guitarist. He is known for a fingerpicking style that draws on blues, jazz, and folk music, and for syncopated, polyphonic melodies. He has overcome a series of personal obstacles, including partial loss of hearing and a nearly career-ending bout with tendon damage in his right hand, to emerge as a widely recognized master of his instrument.
Quotes about Leo Kottke
Taking in folk, bluegrass, jazz and blues, Kottke’s driving, ringing 12-string playing is instantly recognisable and one of a kind. Restlessly creative and in possession of a truly singular voice and vision, Kottke’s cult status as a 12-string superhero remains as strong as ever.
