Adrian Legg
Legg has been called “ridiculously talented” (Music Week); a “guitarist of great power, invention and versatility…(who) sounds like an orchestra,” (St. Petersburg Times) and “the best acoustic player I’ve ever heard,” according to guitar icon Joe Satriani. As noted by popular BBC radio personality Andy Kershaw, “Quite simply, there is no one else like him,” citing Legg’s “dazzling technique and equally large dollops of spirit, humor, passion, eclecticism and spontaneity.”
Aptly described by Audio Magazine as a "kind of cross between Robert Fripp and Garrison Keillor," Legg is more fully characterized as a “genuine entertainer who excels at not only painting pictures, if not frescoes, and telling stories with music— but also wittily regaling his audiences with tales from his life and travels and his cogent and often oblique yet thought-provoking observations on a spectrum of topics. It’s all part of his dedication to making his performances a full-blooded emotional experience.”
