It has turned into a big guitar weekend at the Palladium, with legendary guitarists David Lindley and Adrian Legg, performing in Hough Hall on Friday and the young jazz guitarist Julian Lage – direct from Carnegie Hall – in the Side Door on Sunday.
Here’s a bit of a blog about Lindley put together by our show partners at the Mahaffey Theater. Click here to read the entire piece. And follow this link for tickets.
Here’s an excerpt:
More than a sideman, and so much more than a session musician, David Lindley – performing Friday night at the Palladium on a co-bill with guitarist Adrian Legg – imbues every track he plays on with distinctive musical DNA. You might not know his name, but you’ve heard him, whether it’s on guitar, lap steel, fiddle, mandolin or any of the other several-dozen stringed instruments on which he is both proficient and legendary.
Says his longtime running buddy Jackson Browne: “It’s astounding the growth and development of this particularly gifted musician. He is so influential …. I’ve got a recording of us playing ‘Mercury Blues’ at the Beacon Theatre and it’s hair-raising. He is so bad-ass on the slide. He’s this gnome-like character hunched over the slide ripping it up, like a bull pawing the ground and kicking up great clods of earth with steam coming from his ears.”

Jackson Browne is a pretty good authority, sounds like a talented musician.
Very cool. You guys really showcase an eclectic group of artists. Keep up the good work.
