From swing to jazz to bottleneck blues to folk, Grammy Award-winning acoustic guitarist Pat Donohue plays it all with a flourish of artistry and melodic inspiration. He will be performing at the Mountain Spirit Coffeehouse at 7 P.M. on August 1. Singer, composer, multi-instrumentalist Miriam Allen will open the show with her special blend of Southern, Latin, and world folk music.

Chet Atkins called Pat one of the greatest finger pickers in the world today, and Leo Kottke called his playing “haunting.”

As guitarist for the Guys All-Star Shoe Band of Minnesota Public Radio’s A Prairie Home Companion, he gets to show off his savvy licks and distinctive original songs to millions of listeners each week.

Mountain Spirit Coffeehouse is located at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Asheville. Donations are $15 for adults and $8 for students. For information, call 828.299.4171 or visit uuasheville.org.
