The Grammy-winning king of acoustic guitar returns

Since he last took to the Concert Hall stage, Australia's internationally acclaimed acoustic guitar icon Tommy Emmanuel CGP has added Grammy award to his vast list of accolades. 

Tommy brings the power and dynamism of a full band to his solo acoustic playing, with incredible charisma, stunning speed and dexterity, and unerring command of melody. 

Tommy's message is pure love for the guitar and the music and his delight in sharing it with the world, one audience at a time. Tommy's greatest honour was being named by his childhood idol Chet Atkins as a Certified Guitar Player (CGP). The legendary US guitarist and producer Atkins gave this designation to only five players in history.
