Solo performance captivates audience
Tommy Emmanuel Double Pass – performing Hamilton’s Claudelands Arena Friday September 22 at 8pm.
Two-time Grammy nominee Tommy Emmanuel is set to unleash his supreme guitar talent on an eagerly awaiting Hamilton audience and we have a double pass up for grabs for you to join in the fun.
He captivates his audience as one of the most outstanding solo performers you will ever experience with his unique and inimitable style.
One of the world’s finest guitarists and performers, Tommy Emmanuel is one of Australia’s topmost respected musicians. He’s played alongside Keith Urban, Dragon (part of the band for three years), Air Supply, Eric Clapton, John Denver, Johnny Farnham, Hank Marvin (The Shadows) Les Paul and many more.
Chet Atkins, Tommy’s mentor and inspiration, awarded Tommy with the Certified Guitar Player award - a rare distinction shared between only four other guitarists in the world.
Emmanuel frequently threads three different parts simultaneously into his material, operating as a oneman band who handles the melody, the supporting chords and the bass all at once.
Want proof? Check visit his music video on YouTube.
There’s a science to assembling the parts, and Emmanuel’s technical gift has earned him multiple awards. But the average fan could listen without even considering the precision behind the work, focusing instead on the artful tension and release of Emmanuel’s melodies.
Emmanuel’s technical precision, his virtuosic improvisations and his unusually broad repertoire, which encompasses not only country and bluegrass, but pop, jazz, blues, gospel, even classical, flamenco, and aboriginal styles makes for a most enjoyable music experience. Don’t miss this opportunity.
One superstar guitarist, one guitar, one magical night of musical memories – this show will be very special. Be there.
