Acoustic guitar legend Leo Kottke appears as part of the Fermilab Arts Series on Saturday, May 8 at 8 p.m., Ramsey Auditorium. “My music is maybe hard to categorize,” Kottke allows. “It doesn’t fit conveniently into the bins at record stores. That works for me, though... I don’t rise and fall with trends. Most listeners seem to have room for this stuff. It’s been great that way.” With more than 10 solo albums to his credit, Over the years, Kottke has worked in the studio and shared stages with everyone from Lyle Lovett, John Fahey, T-Bone Burnett and Rickie Lee Jones, to Paco de Lucia.
