Tommy is known by world class musicians, fans and critics alike as perhaps the greatest living fingerstyle guitarist in the world. He is originally from Australia and has been a professional musician for over 4 decades now. He has been nominated for a Grammy, recorded 16 CD's and has toured or recorded with some of the world's greatest musicians including Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner, Les Paul, Joe Walsh and Sir George Martin (producer of The Beatles). He performed the closing ceremonies of the Sydney Olympics in 2000. He is the ONLY non-American musician inducted into the "Thumb Pickers Hall of Fame". His latest CD, "The Mystery" (Favored Nations Records) received a GRAMMY NOMINATION this year !
He is practically always on tour, somewhere in the world. Tommy's tour schedule is listed both at myspace.com/tommyemmanuel1 or on his official website: www.tommyemmanuel.com.
I am Linda Baker, Tommy's US publicist and Im happy to respond to questions about Tommy. His worldwide fan base is getting bigger every day so help spread the word about him! FAIR WARNING: Seeing TE perform live will leave you breathless with your jaw on the ground. He also plays amazing percussion on his guitar. NO ONE plays the guitar quite like him! ;-)
