Leo Kottke Comes to the Carnegie

This weekend, Pittsburgh’s folk music society Calliope brings guitar virtuoso Leo Kottke to the Carnegie Lecture Hall. The show is sold out, but those with the good fortune to have tickets can expect a display of Kottke’s wide influences, with a focus on the instrument. The PG’s Scott Mervis did a good piece on Kottke yesterday.

Before the show, warm up with the caribbean-tinged "Twice" from Kottke’s 2005 collaboration with Phish bassist Mike Gordon.

After the show, set the DVR or tune in to catch Fleet Foxes on SNL. For now, download "White Winter Himnal,” a great song for the cold, snow-covered weekend.
