Adrian Legg
Renowned and awarded for his unique amalgamation of acoustic and electric guitar, Legg blends diverse musical styles and inspirations into a distinctive sound all his own. He has been hailed as “one of the wizards” of the guitar (Philadelphia Enquirer), “an adventurer” (Newsday) and “a genius” (Los Angeles Reader). In addition to his career as a live performer, recording artist and composer, he is an innovator in guitar design and amplification technology, an instructor, photographer, writer and author. Legg is a witty and engaging between song onstage raconteur, as well as an at large commentator for National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered.” It’s no wonder that What’s Up magazine hails London-born Legg as “the greatest British import since Newcastle Brown Ale.”
Currently touring in support of his 10th U.S. album release, Slow Guitar, Legg revisits 13 of his songs that are cherished by his fans and followers. “The ones that get requested the most are the slow ones,” Legg explains. “And eventually I thought, well, I should put them all together and re-record them, because I think about them differently now. What happens is that you come out with a new tune and you play it to people, and after you’ve played it to a lot of different people, if they like it, it has another kind of dimension to it. It has all those people in it as well. It’s not just you in it anymore; it’s something that’s shared. It’s quite stronger than it was.”
