Tommy Emmanuel Biography

Tommy Emmanuel is a guitarist, composer, and vocalist from Australia who is noted for his sophisticated fingerstyle technique, frenetic performances, and use of percussion effects on the guitar. Although Emmanuel began his career as a session musician for a variety of bands, he has developed his own distinct sound as a solo artist, delivering award-winning albums and songs. Emmanuel created a style of solo guitar playing that covers the spectrum of a complete band — encompassing drums, bass, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and a vocal melody all at once, influenced by the Merle Travis/Chet Atkins style of guitar fingerpicking. Emmanuel creates a whole musical universe solely on his own, with no overdubs or loops, unlike some musicians who travel with a band. Emmanuel has received several Grammy nominations, numerous Guitar Player Awards, and various magazine polls proclaiming him the finest living acoustic guitarist. Emmanuel can now be seen performing sold-out performances all around the world, from Nashville to Sydney to London.
