Leo Kottke is a seriously
talented guitarist, and I became a fan of his more than two decades ago when I
picked up a couple of his records (yes, on vinyl). He has now announced his own
seminar and summer camp. Called Leo
Kottke’s Dunk Tank, it will take place from August 4 to August 8 at Cambria
Pines Lodge (reminding me of the first record of his I ever bought, Chewing Pine) in Cambria, California.
From what I’ve read, it
sounds like attendees will be able to get one-on-one time with this incredible
guitarist. It’s a musical retreat, but folks at any level of experience are
encouraged to attend (even those with no experience who are simply fans).
Members of Los Lobos –
David Hidalgo, Cesar Rosas and Steve Berlin – will be joining Leo Kottke, so
there will certainly be some musical magic up in Cambria this summer.
(Recently, the first Los Lobos album – Si Se Puede! – was re-issued digitally.) I hope someone records those jam
sessions, because I would love to hear them.
Cambria is a coastal town
near San Simeon, approximately halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Tickets for this event are on sale now at Leo Kotte’s Dunk Tank.
