Leo Kottke & Keller Williams: Shut the Folk Up and Listen

SHUT THE FOLK UP AND LISTEN

This special evening of music will feature solo sets by Leo Kottke and Keller Williams, as well as collaborations between the artists.

**********

LEO KOTTKE

Famed acoustic guitar player Leo Kottke is known for his unique finger-picking style, drawing on blues, jazz and folk music, and for his syncopated, polyphonic melodies. Over the years, Kottke has overcome a series of 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. In concert, Kottke mixes humor and anecdotes with vocal and instrumental selections from throughout his career, played on his six and twelve string guitars.

KELLER WILLIAMS

With over 20 years of making music under his belt, Keller Williams is best known as a one-man band. His exciting and unpredictable stage shows are built around Keller singing his own songs and select covers. Recent years have found Keller fronting a handful of collaborations, including Keller Williams with The Travelin’ McCourys, Keller and The Keels, with More Than a Little, and with the new Keller Williams Trio. For “Shut the Folk Up and Listen,” Keller goes back to his roots: stripped down to just his guitar, alongside one of his musical heroes.
