I was working at the now-defunct Valley Media offices in Woodland several years ago when the unassuming British guitar virtuoso Adrian Legg paid a visit to play for the staff. As I was picking up my mail from the front office, I noticed that he was having trouble getting past the front desk. Although the receptionist wasn’t familiar with his large body of work, his guitar should have been a hint that he was the featured performer for the day. Thankfully, his feathers weren’t ruffled, and his performance that day went down as one of the best performances we’d ever been treated to. Today, as Legg celebrates his latest release on Favored Nations, he pays a visit to the Palms Playhouse—only a short distance from where he played in 1997. Chances are he won’t have the same problem at the door. Legg plays the Palms Playhouse, located at 13 Main Street in Winters, on Friday at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are only $15.
