Emmanuel’s solo acoustic mastery will be complimented by a former US Fingerstyle champion Richard Smith who will open the shows at Canberra Theatre and Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre in Nowra.
Given his first guitar at age four, Emmanuel started working professionally just two years later in a family band, the Emmanuel Quartet. He never learned to read and write music, but he and his brother Phil were dedicated students of the instrument, creating games that helped them identify chords and patterns.
He has since received a huge variety of accolades, including two Grammy Award nominations, two Golden Guitar awards, twice voted Best Acoustic Guitarist by US Guitar Player Magazine as well as being appointed a Member of the Order of Australia.
