Event Description
An Evening with Adrian Legg

 


Adrian Legg 100%


Fingerstyle Guitar 75%


 


The Guitar Sanctuary presents an Evening with Adrian Legg at The Sanctuary Music and Events Center on Thursday March 13th.


Since the 1990 release of his first U.S. recording "Guitars and Other Cathedrals", Adrian Legg has more than lived up to the expectations stirred by an ongoing avalanche of praise from critics, fans, top guitar mags and peers alike. Joe Satriani once said, “He’s simply the best acoustic guitar player I’ve ever heard…he plays like he has hammers for fingers.” The genius that the Boston Globe has called “technical brilliance paired with a troubadour’s tale-weaving skill” led him from 1993-96 to be voted Best Fingerstyle Guitarist four years straight by the readers of Guitar Player magazine. On Inheritance, his second release for Favored Nations and ninth overall, Legg blends his extraordinary virtuosity on the acoustic with a lush sonic arena that harkens back to the musical textures of his childhood life before the guitar.


"There are guitarists, there are axe-wielding maniacs, and then there are wizards. Adrian Legg is one of the wizards. He has enough technique to do just about anything he wants, but also the sensitivity to honour the contours of a melody." – Philadelphia Enquirer, Aug. 5, 2000


"To say Legg plays a good guitar is like saying Menuhin saws a fine fiddle. This man is ridiculously talented."
-Music Week


"…Legg is, above all, a guitarist of great power, invention and versatility… Through fast-fingered picking, spontaneously layering parts and occasional ringing harmonics, he sounds like an orchestra."
-St. Petersberg Times


Adrian has been Voted "Guitarist of the Decade" by Guitarist magazine and was Guitar Player Magazine's Readers Poll Winner for Best Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitarist for 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996
