Event information
Guitar virtuoso Mike Dowling (USA) is on a rare UK Tour.
His exclusive London appearance is at Brooks Blues Bar at the Green Note Café-Bar on Thursday 7 June.
In a career spanning four decades, Mike Dowling has paid his dues as side man, session player, bandleader and now solo performer and award-winning composer.
His influences are American roots music and jazz – from the traditional Piedmont style fingerpicking of Mississippi John Hurt and swing jazz legends like the great George Barnes, he nevertheless had developed his own style which he translates fluently to arch top, flat top and resonator guitars alike. From bottleneck glues on a well worn National to swing interpretations of jazz greats – Mike can do it all.
His repertoire of early blues, swing, rag-time and originals coupled with an engaging voice and self-deprecating wit have captivated fans of acoustic music throughout the US and Europe. He is a much sought-after teacher, conducting master-classes throughout the USA and UK.
