    Don’t miss this exclusive event featuring two world-renowned folk singer/songwriter virtuosos. Judy Collins is known for the stunning purity of her soprano and for the eclectic tastes in the material she records (which has included folk, showtunes, pop, and rock and roll) as well as for her social activism. She has been entertaining audiences world-wide for more than 40 years and made her first professional appearance at the age of 13, performing Mozart's "Concerto for Two Pianos." She was more inspired, however, by artists like Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger and soon moved from classical piano to pursue guitar. She released her first album in 1961, “A Maid of Constant Sorrow”. Collins is noted for her rendition of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" on her classic 1967 album “Wildflowers” which has since been entered into the Grammy's Hall of Fame and won Song of The Year at the 1975 Grammy's.

    Leo Kottke’s ability to embrace folk idioms and pop melodies as readily as he assimilates jazz and classical influences makes him unique among guitar virtuosi. For all its technical brilliance, wicked syncopation and harmonic sophistication, Kottke’s music is eminently accessible. At heart he’s a populist. This has been abundantly clear ever since the guitarist’s 1969 debut, 12 String Blues, recorded live at a Minneapolis folk club. Kottke’s 1971 major label debut, Mudlark, and seminal Six and 12-String Guitar (1972) announced the arrival of a major new voice in acoustic guitar instrumental music.
