Tommy Emmanuel is the best concert ticket you could buy. He plays the guitar, he sings, he does percussion, he tells great stories but the best part of the concert is Tommy - he is simply the most positive person I've ever seen. He loves what he does and you can tell. You can't help leaving uplifted.

Favorite moment: For me, when he played Classical Gas! The speed and precision was out of this world! @
Opening act(s): Anthony Snape was very good on the guitar and his presentation was professional. He was at ease on the stage and very likable. Plus his voice was magnificent! @

The show was unbelievable. Tommy was witty, charming, and the most amazing guitarist I have ever seen! He signed our CD's after the show and posed for a photo with us! He was very down to earth and extremely nice for being one of the best guitarists in the world!
It was mesmerizing to watch him play song after song with clarity and blazing speed! And very touching to hear him sing a Father's Day song as well. This was one of the best concerts I have ever seen and I would think any aspiring guitarist would enjoy seeing Tommy perform.

What a great evening meeting Tommy during the meet and greet prior to the show! Thank you for offering these small fan gatherings!! Great intimate venue for this type of show!
Parking is outstanding for just $2 in the parking garage directly across the street. Couldn't be any easier or better parking.

What an awesome show! I've been listening to Tommy for ~ 2 years, and this was the first live show I've seen him in.. It's hard to be impressed when you go in with super high expectations, knowing how great he is, but the show still left me amazed.. One of the best live shows I've been to, for sure.. If you like guitar playing at all, you'll likely really enjoy this guy - there's perhaps no one on the planet with as much talent and showmanship on a 6-string..

Favorite moment: When I left about halfway through the show. @
Opening act(s): I think the guys name was Anthony Spate and his performance was unbearable. Couldn't understand the words and his exaggerated movements on guitar were laughable. @

Tommy is a very talented guitarist but listening to just an acoustic guitar for the better part of an hour was just plain boring. I discovered that I like bands or someone like Joe Bonamassa who plays the electric guitar. Tommy just didn't turn out to be my cup of tea.

If you have never been to see him live, make it a point to go whenever you can. He is entertaining, energetic, and the sound that he can get out of his guitars is nothing short of magical. You would think he had a band or backing tracks but it is just him. It is well worth the ticket price so don't miss out..

The whole audience was mesmerized by Tommy Emmanuel's playing. I watched people around me, and we were all shaking our heads in disbelief at what this man can do with a guitar. From classical to rock, this man can do it all. The venue was also great. Emmanuel needs a smaller auditorium so that everyone can see him play, and the Harrison Opera House fit the bill. The only complaint I had was that Emmanuel requested the house lights come up at one point. I wish they would have left them on for a couple of songs and then turned them down or off. Where we were sitting, there was a light overhead and shining right in my eyes. Other than that, a great evening!

This is the third Tommy Emmanuel concert I've been to, and each time I am absolutely amazed! He is phenomenal !!! Two young men....thirty-something's......sat on my right. Before the concert began, the one next to me asked if I'd ever heard Tommy Emmanuel before. I said, "Yes." Then he asked me, "....is he any good?" My answer was, "You just WAIT!" After "Guitar Boogie" both of them were jumping out of their seats and cheering. When Tommy played a Beatles medley, I thought the two guys were going to explode with enthusiasm! I've heard some very good guitar players, but Tommy Emmanuel is the BEST.

The only bad thing was that the music was WAY TOO LOUD at times.
Either the sound guy has hearing issues or he needs to understand this is not a rock concert.

An outstanding virtuoso performance by an extraordinarily talented and refreshingly laid-back performer. Hard to separate Tommy from his guitars - he plays with such apparent ease and passion that they seem to be an organic extension of him. Maybe they are.
