Summary

LK and KW will visit the Park West on their "Shut The Folk Up & Listen" tour.  This show will feature full sets from both artists, and some collaboration as well.

Keller is on the heels of releasing two albums this winter -- Sync, his first release with "acoustic dance" band KWhatro and Raw, a largely solo effort that came together over years.

Leo, as always, brings the fingerpicked goodness in his unique and stately polyphonic playing.

What They Say

Two men that pack as much music as a whole band into a one-man show, get a chance to do it together. 

What We Say

Keller Williams belongs to a tradition of guitar-players who stretch what is possible to do with the instrument. And for this tour, Williams, who is best known for performing frenzied guitar-and-loop-pedal experiments, is paring down to the basics with his acoustic guitar. It makes sense then, that he is touring with Leo Kottke, a cult figure among guitar players known for his distinct blend of Delta blues and folk music played in an innovative and inimitable fingerpicking style. The show, which features individual sets from each artist with spontaneous collaboration between the two, is designed for the most mindful music lovers.
