Fingerstyle guitarist Leo Kottke hasn’t released new material by himself in 20 years, other than a handful of records with Phish’s Mike Gordon.

In a recent interview with Westword Denver, the 78-year-old guitarist described his “open marriage” with 6-strings and 12-strings, both of which he’ll probably bust out at his seemingly-annual stop at the Bilheimer Capitol Theatre in downtown Clearwater.

Jazz guitarist Lage, on the heels of a new album entitled Speak To Me will also be on hand.

Tickets to see Leo Kottke play the Bilheimer Capitol Theatre in Clearwater on Thursday, Aug. 15 are still available and start at $35.
