SF: YOSHI'S PRESENTS LEO KOTTKE

SF: YOSHI'S PRESENTS LEO KOTTKE

Acoustic guitarist Leo Kottke will perform at YOSHI'S (1330 Fillmore Street, San Francisco, CA - 415-655-5600) on Saturday, April 13th at 8:00 pm and Sunday, April 14th at 7:00 pm. Leo was born in Athens, Georgia, but left town after a year and a half. Raised in 12 different states, he absorbed a variety of musical influences as a child, flirting with both violin and trombone, before abandoning Stravinsky for the guitar at age 11. After adding a love for the country-blues of Mississippi John Hurt to the music of John Phillip Sousa and Preston Epps, Kottke joined the Navy underage, to be underwater, and eventually lost some hearing shooting at lightbulbs in the Atlantic while serving on the USS Halfbeak, a diesel submarine. Discharged in 1964, he 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. Kottke has been awarded two GRAMMY nominations; a Doctorate in Music Performance by the Peck School of Music at the U of Wisconsin, Milwaukee; and a Certificate of Significant Achievement in Not Playing the Trombone from the U of Texas at Brownsville with Texas Southmost College. Tickets are $35.

As always, the origin, age, or era of a song doesn't matter to Craig, just the answers to some simple questions: will his voice, the melody and words converge to affect and please the audience?

For nearly two decades, the world at large knew precisely where to find the acclaimed guitarist Kevin Eubanks. For five nights a week, Eubanks was cranking up the band and issuing steamy solos as music director on NBC's "Tonight Show with Jay Leno." In spring of 2010, after 18 years on the job, Eubanks decided to move on, although retirement was the last thing on his mind. That much is clearly stated in potent musical terms on "Zen Food," his first recording for the Mack Avenue label. "Zen Food" is a statement of purpose for a guitarist who, in the 15 years before landing his coveted gig in Burbank, built a reputation as one of the more adventurous and anti-ism guitarists. In fact, Eubanks has been tending his personal musical muse for years, working on material and honing his band in Los Angeles "after work" at the famed Baked Potato. The Zen Food menu of songs was captured in a state of evolution for Kevin and the band. They worked the material on the road and especially at regular Wednesday night gigs at the Baked Potato in North Hollywood. There is a $30-$40 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.

Smith's jazz-rock band Vital Information, has been working and recording for 30 years, while his straight-ahead group Jazz Legacy (which began as a Buddy Rich alumni group called Buddy's Buddies) has been touring and recording since 1999. Therefore, it makes perfect sense for this prolific bandleader, who has made a career out of amalgamating the many twists of his musical calling, to create a new band, Vital Information - NYC Edition, which Smith refers to as, "The best of both worlds!"
