MIKE DOWLING

bottleneck blues, vintage swing, ragtime, and more, played with grace, wit and dazzling dexterity

Mike doesn’t come through that often, so don’t miss the opportunity to hear this world-class guitarist.

“Finger-pickin’ good. Self-taught and handy with the improv, Dowling is noted for his subtle phrasing and impeccable sense of timing . . . a brilliant fingerpicker, flatpicker and slide guitarist, as well as an exceptional performer, singer, and songwriter. Guitar buffs can’t miss this one.“- Albuquerque Crosswinds

“Dowling is one of the most relaxed and highly skilled acoustic guitar players of his generation that I have ever heard. Everything he performs appears natural and deceptively effortless, and with a tone, particularly when he plays slide guitar that is very much his own and that very few others can emulate. His vocals have an engaging edge and alongside his consummate guitar skills there was nothing to criticize. After a number of encores a member of the audience spontaneously stood up and gave a heartfelt thanks to Mike for such a wonderful evening.” — October 2003 performance review, Blues in Britain
