Grammy winning guitarist, composer and performer Mike Dowling will appear on April 2.
In addition to writing for Del McCoury, Kathy Mattea, and Emmylou Harris, Mike has been a featured guest on Public Radio’s A Prairie Home Companion and a substitute guitarist in that program’s Guys All-Star Shoe Band.
He has released ten critically-acclaimed albums on his Wind River Guitar label and shares a Grammy for his contribution on Pink Guitar, a Henry Mancinni compilation. David Chamberlain, WRFG FM “Sagebrush Boogie”, Atlanta, calls Mike’s latest CD (Tracks), “One of the best recordings I have ever heard.”
From bottleneck blues to vintage jazz, Mike draws inspiration from deep in the musical bag of American roots guitar. His understated mastery of all things six-stringed, coupled with an engaging voice, a self-deprecating wit and an arsenal of elegant guitar interpretations has firmly secured his place among the musical masters of his generation.
