TOMMY EMMANUEL CGP - Living In The Light Tour

Description

More than sixty years after the start of his unparalleled career as one of the most skilled and versatile guitarists of modern times, Tommy Emmanuel is still full of adventure. According to the legendary Eric Clapton, he is "the greatest guitarist I have ever heard," and is considered one of the world's best representatives of the so-called fingerstyle, a special playing technique especially for acoustic guitar. Whether original compositions or covers: Tommy Emmanuel's playing is always brilliant and confronts a multitude of different styles and moods. The fingerpicker shows his listeners what can be achieved from a guitar. Breathtaking runs, rhythmic picking, effortless changes through all keys, sometimes loud, then quiet again: it sounds as if several guitars are playing at once. You can feel the passion in every note. This virtuoso is not about fame, money, or recognition, but about expressing the full range of emotions. From deep melancholy to euphoric joy of life, he takes his audience along and doesn't let go. In October 2025, his latest album "Living In The Light" was released. It was recorded in just four days and is considered the boldest – and most rewarding – collection in Tommy's remarkable catalog. It combines his influences from pop, jazz, classical, and roots music into a virtuoso masterpiece that is both captivating and intimate. The album exudes a raw, electrifying energy that can only come from an artist who fully immerses himself in the moment. Many of the recordings are solo instrumental pieces, but Emmanuel also contributes his voice to some tracks and lends his brilliant, percussive guitar playing a touching warmth and vulnerability. NPR's World Café declared Tommy Emmanuel one of the best acoustic guitarists in the world, The New York Times celebrated him as a wunderkind, and Atkins awarded him the title "Certified Guitar Player" (an accolade previously bestowed on only four other artists).
