Denver – Master guitarist, composer and and leading guitar authority Adrian Legg takes the stage at Daniels Hall at Swallow Hill on Saturday, February 3 at 8 p.m. A native of Hackney, London, he got his start in music by playing the oboe at his parents' wishes; soon he began fashioning his own guitars and stringed instruments out of whatever scraps he could find from the local bus station. While working as a young man in Liverpool's airport, he met a man who invited him to join his band and introduced him to country music. Eventually Legg hitched his way back to London and began playing the local scene on his own. From these humble beginnings he has risen to become one of the world's most revered guitar players. For four years in a row (1993 - 1996), he was voted by the readers of Guitar magazine as Best Fingerstyle Guitarist, and was named Guitarist of the Decade by Guitarist magazine. In his latest release, Inheritance, Legg blends his acoustic guitar virtuosity with a lush sonic arena that harkens back to the musical textures of his childhood life before the guitar. The Washington Post says, "Legg displays a rare knack for combining strong melodic lines with arpeggiated harmonies in such a way that they flow with a graceful unity ... listeners will love the sheer beauty of melodic and harmonic interplay."
