About

Hailed as "one of the best acoustic guitarists in the world" by NPR's World Cafe, Tommy Emmanuel got his start at the age of six, when he first began touring his native Australia with his family's band. As a teenager, he earned a reputation as a highly sought after sideman and session player, and by his early twenties, Emmanuel was playing on chart-topping hits and performing with acts like Air Supply and Men at Work. Inspired in part by his hero, Chet Atkins (who would later become a friend, mentor, and collaborator), Emmanuel stepped out on his own as a solo artist in 1979, releasing the first in a string of acclaimed instrumental albums that would make him an unlikely celebrity in his home country and beyond. In the decades that followed, he would go on to headline everywhere from the Sydney Opera House to Carnegie Hall; tour with luminaries like Eric Clapton and John Denver; win a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement; perform for a televised audience of more than two billion at the Sydney Olympics; and collaborate with a who's who of fellow guitar greats, including Les Paul, Mark Knopfler, Joe Walsh, Richard Thompson, Jason Isbell, and Billy Strings.

Recorded in just four days, Emmanuel's latest album, Living In The Light, stands as the most daring--and most rewarding--collection in the globetrotting fingerpicker's remarkable catalog, fusing his pop, jazz, classical, and roots influences into a virtuosic masterwork as exhilarating as it is intimate.

  • Tommy is magical!!

    by Justme on 10/31/25The Wilbur - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    What an incredible musician and show Hard to believe so much range can come from one instrument- this guy is a must see!

  • Electrifying

    by tom on 10/31/25The Wilbur - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    One of the best shows I've ever seen. Great connection with the audience and command of the guitar beyond anything.

  • One Man Hurricane

    by Happy Concertgoer on 10/24/25Lincoln Theatre - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    It was amazing to watch 1 guitar player make so many sounds. Tommy Emmanuel is one a few that captivate a large audience by himself. He mixed in new and old songs and was just great!!!!!!!!

  • Fabulous and Joyful

    by Ed on 10/24/25Lincoln Theatre - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    Tommy's performance was stunning. He played for 2 hours and was very personable. His talent is awesome and his presence seems to be joyful. He's enjoying using his abilities to entertain us. His sound and lighting guys are top notch - everything they did was beautifully coordinated with Tommy's playing. If you've never seen him, GO!

  • Tommy Emmanuel Is Fantastic!

    by Rolo on 10/24/25Lincoln Theatre - WashingtonRating: 4 out of 5

    Tommy Emmanuel is the BEST at solo acoustic guitar. Definitely see him if at all possible. The Lincoln Theater in Washington DC was very dated. Much needed Federal funding would help but it's obvious the current administarion cares about these things. Sad! Regardless, Tommy Emmanuel is a gem!

  • THE BEST

    by DewArt on 10/24/25Lincoln Theatre - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    Best guitarist, best entertainer, just THE BEST! ❤️ Tommy Emmanuel!

  • Excellent show! Great staff!!

    by Lloyd on 3/31/25Burton Cummings Theatre - WinnipegRating: 5 out of 5

    Tommy is beyond a genius. Kept me riveted the entire night

  • Last of the Guitar Entertainers

    by Bee Farmer on 3/30/25Burton Cummings Theatre - WinnipegRating: 5 out of 5

    Tommy is the last of a long tradition of incredible guitar player that can entertain a crowd. Think Buck Owens, Chet Atkins, Steve Vai, Gerry Ried, Roy Clark and Eddy Van Halen. As much entertainer as musician. And with Tommy’s talent that says a lot.
