One man, ten fingers. Guitar guru Tommy Emmanuel is coming to Olavshallen next fall!

Australian Tommy Emmanuel is widely known for his virtuoso treatment of the acoustic guitar. With his genuine fingerpicking, he is a one-man band that plays the melody, the chords and the bass. His energetic and engaging stage performances are unique – Emmanuel never does the same show twice, and improvises large parts of the concerts.

Emmanuel is one of only five musicians handpicked by his idol Chet Atkins as a “Certified Guitar Player” (CGP), he has collected a number of awards – including one Grammy and two nominations, a number of industry awards and countless top positions in ratings in various guitar magazines around the world.

“He’s one of the best guitar players I’ve ever seen.”– Chet Atkins

“If you like guitar playing, it simply doesn’t get any better than Tommy.”– Jason Isbell

Special guest on the tour is British Mike Dawes, who is hailed as one of the world’s most creative modern fingerstyle guitarists. He is known for composing, arranging and performing multiple parts simultaneously on one instrument.

Mike Dawes’s repertoire ranges from several critically acclaimed solo albums, collaborations with artists such as Justin Hayward, Tommy Emmanuel and Alestorm to several viral YouTube videos that have gone viral. He is also a respected music educator as a columnist for “Guitar World” and “Acoustic Guitar” in addition to giving guitar workshops worldwide.
