Bravo!! Bravo!!”

“Every time Eric Sommer plays around here, inevitably someone comes up to me the next day and says "Man, did you see that incredible acoustic guitarist last night?" I've been preaching the gospel of Sommer (pictured) for a while now. Originally from Boston, he now has no permanent residence - it's just him and the van and a bunch of guitars, playing gig after gig after gig around the country. He plays in open and standard tunings, has the digital dexterity of Leo Kottke, and his bottleneck slide work will stun you. ”
