Stage Buzz – Live Shots: Richie Kotzen
Acclaimed guitarist Richie Kotzen (The Winery Dogs, Mr. Big, Poison) wowed the audience Thursday night (11/13/14) at the legendary Arcada Theatre. With nearly 25 years of performances under his belt (and touring in support of his album The Essential Richie Kotzen), Kotzen and his solo band showed both a driving dynamic and a tasteful maturity on guitar that yolked the guitar-slinger era of his youth (in the late ’80s and ’90s), while he transitions into new territory as an “elder statesman” on his instrument, all at 44 years old. Few modern musicians can claim that kind of resume and respect.
