There are musicians—some mediocre, some good, a few great—and then there is Tommy Emmanuel. Listening to his recordings, and watching/hearing him on TV, DVD, youTube, etc. tells you that he is a virtuoso instrumentalist. Seeing/hearing him in person reveals him to be a musical genius—a complete one-off. There is no one like him. Top that off with the fact that he’s a genuine, warm, wonderful human being, and you have the Tommy Emmanuel experience. I have been following TE for around 20 years, and have been attending concerts given by some of the world’s greatest musicians for over 50 years. I have never experienced another musician—in any genre—who could covey so much emotion musically. I have seen Tommy move a roomful of people to tears with an instrumental. He belongs at the top of the bucket list of anyone who loves music, anyone who has ever been moved or elated by the sound of a musician rising from the merely excellent to the sublime, even if only for a moment. Tommy Emmanuel, playing live, expresses the sublime from the first note to the last encore.
