Hailed by Chet Atkins as "Without a doubt, one of the greatest guitar players on the

planet," Tommy Emmanuel has electrified audiences from Steve Kaufman's diminutive
Palace Theater in Maryville, Tennessee to the closing ceremony of the 2000 Olympics in
Sydney, Australia. Having concertized throughout much of the civilized world, this
dynamic performer who, in his words "happens to be a pretty good guitarist," made his
way to the fabled competition in Winfield Kansas as a guest artist for the first time in
2000. Shortly before Tommy's performances there, parking lot pickers were said to have
ceased jamming and moved trance like in droves to a venue designed to hold perhaps
500, now packed with three times that number all to hear Tommy Emmanuel play an
acoustic guitar! Although he has acted as a mentor to a dedicated few young guitarists in
his native Australia, Tommy seems destined to make his mark performing on the world
stage. His impeccable taste, flawless technique, and engaging personality have inspired
fans and critics alike. Visit the official Tommy Emmanuel web site for tour schedules and
