Two-time Grammy nominee heading to Epstein Theatre

Two-time Grammy Award nominee Tommy Emmanuel will play in Liverpool for a one night only performance next month.

The legendary musician and YouTube sensation is set to wow audiences in the city when he brings his passionate and infectious live show to the Epstein Theatre.

A January 9 show supports Emmanuel’s the latest album ‘It’s Never Too Late’ which features 14 tracks of original music with no vocals or guests – it’s just pure Tommy – solo.

One of Australia’s most respected musicians, the guitarist has a professional career spanning five decades and continues to intersect with some of the finest musicians throughout the world.

A household name in his homeland, Emmanuel has garnered hundreds of thousands of loyal fans worldwide.

He is famous for his unique style, which he simply calls “finger style” that is akin to playing guitar the way a pianist plays piano, using all 10 fingers.

Rebekah Pichilingi, theatre manager at the Epstein, said: “We can’t wait to kick off our 2017 season and what better way to do it than with such a legendary artist?

“Audiences will without doubt be wowed by this guitar legend.”
