World-renowned guitarist Leo Kottke performed to a sold out audience at Yakima’s The Season’s Performance Hall. Kottke is known for a fingerpicking style influenced by blues, jazz, and folk music; and for syncopated, polyphonic melodies.

Kottke has overcome some significant setbacks, including severe nerve damage to his right hand, showing his standing-room-only audience he’s still got it.
