About Tommy Emmanuel
With a Grammy Award, multiple ARIA Awards, and countless accolades under his belt, Tommy’s proudest title is Certified Guitar Player (CGP), a rare honour bestowed by legendary guitarist Chet Atkins. This prestigious recognition places Tommy among an elite group of only six handpicked musicians who have mastered the guitar and elevated its artistry to new heights. For Tommy, music transcends genre — blending elements of pop, bluegrass, jazz, and rock ’n’ roll into a captivating rhythm and emotional journey.
Experience the Magic
The magic of Tommy Emmanuel lies in his incredible ability to play the parts of an entire band simultaneously. Watching his fingers fly across the fretboard with jaw-dropping speed and dexterity is something you really need to see to believe. Whether it’s the whisper-quiet nuances of “Sail On,” the energetic drive of “Classical Gas,” or the soulful melodies of Paul Simon’s “American Tune,” Tommy creates a musical experience like no other.
