He is known for a fingerpicking style that draws on blues, jazz, and folk music, and for syncopated, polyphonic melodies. He overcame a series of personal obstacles, including partial loss of hearing and a nearly career-ending bout with tendon damage in his right hand, to emerge as a widely recognized master of his instrument. He currently resides in the Minneapolis area with his family.

Focusing primarily on instrumental composition and playing, Kottke also sings sporadically, in an unconventional yet expressive baritone described by himself as sounding like "geese farts on a muggy day".[1] In concert, Kottke intersperses humorous and often bizarre monologues with vocal and instrumental selections from throughout his career, played solo on 6- and 12-string guitars.

Great Big Boy
Leo Kottke Lyrics


Big Mob On The Hill They're burying someone at Forest Lawn There's a big mob on…
Driver Way down there it's raining dust And snakes police the roads…
Great Big Boy I was 29 and it absolutely stank I made a lot…
I Still Miss Someone At my door the leaves are falling A cold wild wind…
Pepe Hush The sun comes up on a fleabag our hero checks…
Running Up The Stairs She jumps up running, running up the stairs She jumps up…
Summer's Growing Old Summer's growing old, her smile is not so bold Summer's grow…
