Musician's Spotlight: Ottmar Liebert

By John Floridis

Published February 22, 2022 at 6:27 PM MST

World renowned Nouveau Flamenco guitarist and multiple Grammy Award nominated recording artist Ottmar Liebert joins host John Floridis to discuss his career and three new albums he has recorded since the lockdown of 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Ottmar also relates how he navigated a tempting offer to be given extensive education in banking and instead told his supervisor "I'm a musician with a day job, not a banker with a hobby." He then detoured into becoming a bicycle courier in Boston before plunging head first into his music career which has lasted several decades.
