Acclaimed guitarist Nels Cline performs at The Loft on Feb. 19. Cline has an amazing career in music that has seen him play with a long list of top-notch musicians including Wilco, Rickie Lee Jones, Wayne Kramer and dozens more. With the Nels Cline 4, his instrumental prowess is at the forefront, providing an explosion of notes in songs that are equal parts improv, experimental groove, melody and frantic energy. Having worked with so many music legends Cline has an impressive discography, but nothing beats seeing him and his virtuoso musicians performing live in an intimate venue such as The Loft.
