Guitarist Pat Wictor returns to the Durham Coho stage

Durham Cohousing is so happy Pat Wictor will be back with us – remembering Pat’s wonderful sold out concert in May 2019. Pat took a convoluted path to folk music, winding his way through rock, heavy metal, jazz, and free improvisation. He first burst on the folk and acoustic scene as an innovative slide guitarist known for fresh and memorable interpretations of traditional and contemporary songs. Since then he has made his mark as a singer-songwriter penning lean and poetic songs that honor and extend rural blues and gospel traditions. Pat’s newest recording, about political division in America titled FLARE, was called “brilliant” by critics, and reached #1 on the Folk-DJ charts in 2022. Learn more at patwictor.com.

"He manages to infuse an almost playful improvisation while maintaining a beautiful sense of melody........While he can fingerpick like the best of them, he is an absolute madman on the lapsteel. Unquestionably, anyone who has ever heard a Wictor show will permanently place him in the company of the best in the genre…..” Frank Matheis, TheCountryBlues.com

"If you can make it to only one concert this year, let it be a show by Pat Wictor, who plays heart-felt blues-based roots music like the only begotten son of Bonnie Raitt (same red hair!) and Chris Smither." -Jim Motavalli, WPKN
