Tommy Emmanuel has achieved enough musical milestones to satisfy several lifetimes. Or at least they would if he was the kind of artist whno was ever satisfied. At the age of 6, he was touring Australia with his family band. By 30, he was a rock lead guitarist playing stadiums. At 44, he became one of five people ever named a Certified Guitar Player (CGP) by his idol, music icon Chet Atkins. Today, he plays sold-out shows everywhere from Nashville to Sydney to London.

Influenced by the Merle Travis/Chet Atkins fingerstyle of guitar picking, Emmanuel developed a style of solo guitar playing that encompasses the range of a whole band — covering drums, bass, rhythm lead guitar, and vocal melody simultaneously. While some artists take a band on the road, Emmanuel builds a complete sonic world entirely on his own with no overdubs or loops.

Emmanuel has multiple Grammy nominations, countless Guitar Player awards, numerous magazine polls naming him the greatest acoustic guitarist alive. He's grateful for it all. For Emmanuel though, the greatest reward is always the same — to make the next great record, and to see the beaming audience at the next great show.
