This is a non-smoking show

The Silver Dollar Room is please to present a special show featuring British 
acoustic guitarist Adrian Legg, an internationally respected 
instrumentalist, noted for his exceptional ability as a fingerstylist.

Born in Hackney, East London, Legg first studied classical music, but 
switched to guitar after hearing Lonnie Mack's Wham. Since that time he has 
performed at clubs and festivals throughout the world, has released five 
recordings, and has garnered numerous accolades, including Guitar Players' 
Best Overall Guitar Album (1994), Acoustic Album of the Year (1992 & 1993), 
Best Fingerstyle Guitarist (1993, 1994, 1995 , 1996), and Guitarist 
Magazine's Guitarist of the Decade.

Captivating in a live setting, Legg's legendary for his deadpan humour and 
funny stories. His latest recording, Fingers and Thumbs, on Red House 
Records, delivers plenty of Legg's classic flowing guitar eloquence, as well 
as some quirky details.

"British maestro Adrian Legg is a genius of acoustic guitar wizardry." 
Guitar

"Legg combines a sublime melodic sense with a mighty right-hand groove, 
creating pretty music with rhythmically aggressive undercurrents. All else 
aside, Legg's mind-blowing tricks make this required listening for 
progressive fingerstylists." Guitar Player

"The guitar is the most versatile instrument in the world, and nobody 
demonstrates this better than Adrian ." Acoustic Guitar

"...dazzling technique with equally large dollops of spirit, humour, 
passion, eclecticism and spontaneity. Quite simply, there is no-one like 
him." BBC Radio One

Tickets are $12.00. Contact the Silver Dollar Room at 416-975-0909 or visit
