Tommy Emmanuel

The artist for today is the little known, yet world famous thunder from down under: Tommy Emmanuel.

I remember the first time I saw him in concert. As a guitar player myself my jaw was literally on the floor the entire night.

He dazzled me with incredible playing, great singing and a stage presence that is usually reserved for the biggest rock stars on the planet.

Honestly, he performed 2 shows when he was here and every guitar player in the city that I knew was there to see him.

He's charismatic, innovative and a genuinely nice guy.

So... for your listening pleasure... I offer you The Hunt, by Tommy Emmanuel.
