Guitarist Leo Kottke’s fingerpicking style draws on folk, blues, and jazz. A folk icon, Kottke’s performances feature intricate guitar work, a dry spontaneous wit, and compositions “filled with twists and turns to match his on-stage storytelling and baritone voice that is as deep as the thoughts expressed, filled with seemingly silly, nuanced stories that perfectly capture the absurdity of the human experience and all of the fibers of life that weave us together.” - Houston Press, 2022

Kottke’s first album debuted in 1969 and he has been connecting with audiences ever since, bringing song, laughter, and tears to each performance.

Kottke last performed at the Raven to a sold-out crowd in 2020. Don’t miss this show — get your tickets now!
