Two-time GRAMMY-nominated artist, Tommy Emmanuel, has achieved enough musical milestones to satisfy several lifetimes. The album, Accomplice One, is a testament to Tommy’s musical diversity, the range of expression that stretches from authentic country-blues to face-melting rock shredding, by way of tender and devastating pure song playing. Influenced by his idol, Chet Atkins, fingerstyle of guitar picking, Tommy developed a style of solo guitar playing that encompasses the range of a whole band– covering drums, bass, rhythm and lead guitar and a vocal melody simultaneously. A style so impressive that Chet Atkins named him a Certified Guitar Player, making Tommy only one of five people to ever earn that honor.

Tommy will be performing with dobro master and 14-time GRAMMY winner, Jerry Douglas. Douglas is to the resonator guitar what Jimi Hendrix was to the electric guitar, elevating, transforming, and reinventing the instrument in countless ways. According to the New York Times, he’s “Dobro’s matchless contemporary master.” For more information about Jerry Douglas, visit highroadtouring.com.
