Tommy Emmanuel in concert in Cagliari
Tommy Emmanuel's Epic Italian Tour Hits Cagliari: Don't Miss This Guitar Legend Live!
Cagliari joins the lineup as one of ten thrilling stops on Tommy Emmanuel's brand-new Italian tour, kicking off January 28 next year. Promoted by the Forma e Poesia nel Jazz cooperative, the Australian guitar virtuoso will rock the Sardinian capital on February 7 at Fiera Pavilion D.
Hailed as one of the world's top acoustic guitar masters, Emmanuel dazzles with his signature fingerstyle technique—dancing fingers flying across the strings at jaw-dropping speeds, mimicking an entire band's sound single-handedly. Born in 1955 in Muswellbrook, Australia, this prodigy started playing at age 4, taught by his mother in a musical family.[2] He's blended flawless technique with raw emotion, drawing from pop, bluegrass, jazz, rock 'n' roll, classical, flamenco, and even aboriginal styles to create a style that's captivated global fans.
Emmanuel's stellar career boasts 27 studio albums, 7 live records, plus singles and compilations. His accolades include Grammy nominations and wins, multiple ARIA Awards, IBMA Awards, and titles like "Best Acoustic Guitarist" from Guitar Player and Acoustic Guitar magazines. In 1999, mentor Chet Atkins crowned him a rare Certified Guitar Player(CGP)—shared by only Jerry Reed, Steve Wariner, and John Knowles—plus Guitar Legend honors.
From session work with Air Supply and Men at Work to platinum albums with Dragon and touring with Tina Turner, Emmanuel's solo journey exploded with hits like Only and The Mystery, fueling non-stop worldwide tours.
