Tommy Emmanuel Before A Live Audience

Saturday, February 28

It's guitarist and singer/songwriter Tommy Emmanuel at his best - before a live audience.  We recorded him at Wichita’s Orpheum theater.  The Australian-born showman first played in this area at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield several years ago.  He started as an unknown but by the second day his shows were crowded with new fans – with hundreds more standing outside the fence, hoping to catch a glimpse.  Now he's a sought-after performer anywhere in the world. 

Web Special: Here is Tommy Emmanuel performing Mason Williams' "Classical Gas."
