Leo Kottke at Palace Theatre

In 1964, Leo settled in the Twin Cities area and became a fixture at Minneapolis' Scholar Coffeehouse, which had been home to Bob Dylan and John Koerner. He issued his 1968 recording debut LP Twelve String Blues, recorded on a Viking quarter-inch tape recorder, for the Scholar's tiny Oblivion label.

Leo Kottke's 1971 major-label debut, Mudlark, positioned him somewhat uneasily in the singer/songwriter vein, despite his own wishes to remain an instrumental performer. Kottke later thrived during his tenure on Capitol, as records like 1972's Greenhouse and 1973's live My Feet Are Smiling and Ice Water found him branching out with guest musicians and honing his guitar technique. Kottke later collaborated with Phish bassist Mike Gordon on ‘Clone’ in 2002. They later collaborated on ‘Sixty Six Steps.’ Do not miss Two-time Grammy® Award Nominee Leo Kottke at the Palace Theatre!
