Tommy Emmanuel Plus Support Anthony Snape

Two-time GRAMMY nominee Tommy Emmanuel is one of Australia’s most respected musicians, with a professional career spanning five decades. His unusual talent and life are common lore in Australia: born into a musical family, Tommy got his first guitar at age 4, by age 6 he was working as a professional musician in the family band and by the age of 10, he had played his way across Australia.

Chet Atkins honored Tommy with the title of “Certified Guitar Player” for his contribution to guitar music, a very rare distinction shared by only four other people in the world. In 2001, Tommy released his first solo-acoustic album, ‘Only’ and his popularity has grown aided by a non-stop touring schedule.

His album ‘The Mystery’ earned him a Grammy nomination, and in 2008 Guitar Player Magazine and Acoustic Guitar Magazine named him Best Acoustic Guitarist and Gold Medalist in the in the Readers’ Choice and Players’ Choice Awards.

Tommy’s latest album is the highly anticipated ‘Tommy Emmanuel: Live and Solo in Pensacola, Florida’ and includes old and new favourites, exhibiting Tommy’s amazing showmanship and musical talent.

Tommy’s live shows are known for their humour, performance, passion, and infectious joy. Tommy Emmanuel’s message is just pure love for the music and his delight in sharing it with the world, one audience at a time.
