Adrian Legg
Adrian Legg is a much lauded and joyfully emotional collision between classical melodic sophistication and the ballsy American guitar, swinging between grace and the gutter on uniquely developed musicality, with technique to die for. Impossible to categorise, Legg has toured and collaborated with rock's guitar gods, charted in the US New Age section, is forever deeply involved in instrument industry's geekier R&D, but remains a solo fingerstylist committed to musical intimacy.
Legg says of himself, "I make up tunes and play them on a guitar. On a good day, people give me money." You'll grin, but take a hanky.
