We’ve been adding a lot of classic videos to Tommy’s YouTube page. Some of them are from his past instructional videos such as Emmanuel Labor, Up Close, and Guitar Talk. In the next few months, Tommy will have more NEW videos and NEW songs coming out. Please subscribe to his YouTube channel, and you can be one of the first to see these new videos.
For most of his shows, there are meet & greets for sale from his web-store. It’s a gift that also supports amazing organizations such as Guitars 4 Vets, MusiCares, and Doctors Without Borders. **Please note, you must have a ticket to the show in order to take part in the meet & greet.
Today is Merle Travis’ birthday. His unique guitar style is still called Travis Picking by guitarists. “Travis Picking” is a syncopated style of guitar fingerpicking rooted in ragtime music in which alternating chords and bass notes are plucked by the thumb while melodies are simultaneously plucked by the index finger.
I am honored and very excited to be a part of the amazing line up that will be at MerleFest on April 23-26, 2020 in Wilkesboro, NC. Early bird tickets are available now!! Click here for ticketing info.
This is a great, family friendly festival…and everyone should go at least once! Looks like this year will lend itself to have some amazing jams!!! Hope to see you there!!

We are delighted to announce the Fab news that the UK Premiere will take place at the Liverpool Film Festival on November 2nd!
Having this screening in the country he once called home could not be more fitting, especially in the city that birthed the band whose music has threaded through Tommy’s life, from his ever-evolving show-stopping Beatles medley to his recent beautiful tribute to George Harrison, ‘Hope St,’ named after the Liverpool street and featured on our film’s soundtrack.
I am very excited to be returning to the wonderful country of Canada in 2020. I’ll be in Mississauga (outside Toronto), Calgary, Edmonton, Victoria, Vancouver, Sherbrooke, and Ottawa. Joe Robinson will be support for the March shows. Gareth Pearson is support for the May shows. A full list of tour dates is below, and I hope to see you out on the Endless Road!
