Guitarra Mike (aka Mike Salovich) was born in the tradition of American Primitive Guitar – the original percussive metal fingerpicking of Leo Kottke, Peter Lang, John Fahey. Mike composes original music, and now with a million YouTube views, has some notoriety in Latin America. At this Guitar Society gig Mike will go back in time and slide on giant metal finger picks and a bulky polymer thumb pick to pound out original guitar songs, and share his experience of being steeped in the oral tradition of American Primitive Guitar with Mark Lang – Peter Lang’s long lost swashbuckling genius brother. Guitarra Mike just released a new album of guitar music called “Rosa Mystica” with washboard mystic Mikkel Beckmen, available on all streaming platforms.
