Hey -- I've never heard of this guy before, but he's coming to town.
According to the promo, he's been here before, and lot's of times.
Adrian Legg was named "guitarist of the decade",
by Guitar Magazine -- here's the promo about his appearance here:
Adrian Legg to perform.
The Amazing Grace Bakery & Music Cafe has a series of internationally known musicians scheduled for the upcoming weeks. The Cafe is a venue with a living room feeling where people can enjoy fine musicians up close. Bakery owner Chip Stewart says, "The cold days of the Duluth winter are perfect for hanging out with friends and listening to great music." When Stewart says "great" he means "Great".
Adrian Legg
This British guitarist is a truly unique musician who is no stranger to the Amazing Grace stage. Each of his concerts has ended with a standing ovation and an appeal for him to return. Once again Adrian Legg has obliged. Using instruments that he has designed for his unusual cross-over electric-acoustic style he is a one-of-a-kind musician.
Guitar Magazine writer Richard Chapman says that Legg is “impossible to categorize as a player... Legg incorporates virtually every genre. "The "Guitarist of the Decade" of Guitarist Magazine, and selected by Guitar Player Magazine's reader poll as the Best Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitarist each year from 1993 through 1996, he has a discography that includes 13 CD's as well as some teaching manuals and videos. His website is a plethora of humor and insights into the life of a touring and hard-working working guitarist: http://www.adrianlegg.com
On Sunday February 11th at 7:30 pm, the internationally renowned guitar wizard will perform at .The Amazing Grace Bakery and Music Cafe, 394 Lake Avenue South in Canal Park, Duluth MN. Tickets are $18. Reservations can be made at the Bakery or by calling (218) 723-0075.
Of course I am. Amazing Grace is an incredibly small venue though.
It's tough to fit 100 people in there.
I might have to camp out overnight. ;)
Wait a minute -- this is going to be held in February.
Scratch the camping out! :D
The only thing I camped out to see was actually in very cold weather and that was to see The Godfather in Philly when it first showed. And it was worth it. :)
Have fun and tell us about it afterward okeedokee.
Loved that Eric Mongrain Stuff... coolness.... Makes me want to be at the Montreal Jazz Festival RIGHT NOW!!! And that Tommy Emmanuel is no slouch himself!
OK...
Was going to post some stuff earlier on but got busy... so here it is.

Of course I've heard it... that's why it merited a bold, spaced, capitalized groan!

YES .. I have Mr. Music Man.
I have some of his music and some of his tapes given to me by a friend.
The tape is Mrs. Crowe's Blue Waltz and I know I have other stuff... maybe some guitar picking books.
Sweet.

Well --- since Adrian seems to be a finger-picking artist,
I kinda figured you and Polar Bear had heard of him. :)

Chili busters sounds like something to eat. :)
Um, well I reckon I was thinking of food as I even spelled it chili.
Good lord but where did I end up again.

Ahhhhhh -- Leo!!! Haven't heard him live for years now.
He used to come here a lot back a decade or so ago..
He's played the Amazing Grace as well.
I LOVE his goofing around on the guitar while spinning some story,
that has something to do with the song he's about to play.
I like his finger picking better than his slide work,
but that's me. :)

If you want to hear Leo you'll have to come my way. He plays in our town once a year at our Opera House. Always a sold out crowd.
