Tommy Emmanuel

The International Jazz Festival is celebrating its 30th anniversary.

To mark the occasion, a concert will be held featuring the world-renowned guitar legend Tommy Emmanuel. The holder of the prestigious title “Certified Guitar Player” is coming to Košice with his captivating live show, brimming with energy, virtuosity, and emotion.

Tommy Emmanuel, whom NPR’s World Cafe has called “one of the best acoustic guitarists in the world,” began at the age of six, touring his native Australia with his family band. As a teenager, he earned a reputation as a sought-after session and studio musician, and by the age of twenty, Emmanuel was playing chart-topping hits and performing with bands such as Air Supply and Men at Work. Emmanuel, partly inspired by his hero Chet Atkins (who later became his friend, mentor, and collaborator), set out on his own as a solo artist in 1979 and released the first in a series of acclaimed instrumental albums that made him an unexpected celebrity both in his home country and beyond.

Emmanuel’s latest album * Living In The Light, recorded in just four days, represents the boldest—and most rewarding—collection in this globetrotting fingerpicker’s remarkable catalog, blending his influences from pop, jazz, classical, and roots music into a virtuoso masterpiece that is both exhilarating and intimate.
