Variety Playhouse Hosts Australian Guitar Legend Tommy Emmanuel February 23
Influenced to take a fingerstyle approach to guitar as a child by such talents as Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, and Merle Travis, Emmanuel has pushed the stunning chops and showmanship of fingerstyle, steel-string guitar to new heights. Incorporating improvisation into a style influenced by jazz, pop, classical, flamenco, blues, gospel, and even aboriginal music, Emmanuel has been regarded as one of the few masters of fingerstyle guitar that stand apart from others. His break-neck speed melded with a tasteful and precise sense of melody and rhythm make his performances a true spectacle for dedicated musicians and casual music fans alike.
Check him out as he brings his legendary stylings and impeccable showmanship to Atlanta’s Variety Playhouse Saturday, February 23. This is a must-see show for guitar enthusiasts and fans of virtuosic playing. Don’t miss it!
