Nathan Salsburg

Acoustic guitarist Nathan Salsburg, whose solo albums began appearing in 2011, performs at The Attic in Leeds, a venue that hosts concerts and shows.

Nathan Salsburg is an acoustic guitarist whose first solo album came out in 2011, and eight have followed. The playing draws on minimalism and rural American vernacular music, as well as the work of British folk revivalists Dick Gaughan, Dolly Collins and Nic Jones.

Salsburg frequently works with the songwriter and singer Joan Shelley, and with James Elkington, a multi-instrumentalist based in Chicago. Recordings that include Salsburg's playing feature Shirley Collins, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, the Weather Station and Jake Xerxes Fussell. Over two decades, Salsburg also held the curatorial role for the online Alan Lomax Archive.

The Attic is a Leeds venue for concerts and shows, and this evening's concert brings the guitarist to its stage. The event suits listeners interested in acoustic guitar playing rooted in folk and American roots traditions.
