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.

Standing In My Shoes
Leo Kottke Lyrics
Standing in My Shoes Like a stone gone to water I can't help but see That…
Twice When the stars up in the sky When the lights along…
Vaseline Machine Gun INSTRUMENTAL…
World Turning Everybody's trying to say I'm wrong I just wanna be back…
