Today, I am excited to announce the release of my latest album, “Live! At The Ryman”. It was an unforgettable experience playing my first solo show at the Historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. I have grown up listening to the music and artists that made those walls famous throughout the world and it was an honor to play on that stage. The night was a lifetime goal of mine and it was made that much more special with the appearance of my two good friends and fellow ‘CGPs,’ Steve Wariner and John Knowles. I’m so thrilled that we filmed and recorded the show, as John, Steve and I had never collaborated together before and this made the night even more special. The sold-out crowd just about lifted the roof off the hall and we all gave it our best! The spirit of Chet Atkins surrounded us three with love, peace and mojo! I hope those who hear this recording will be uplifted and feel the love we felt for the people who poured their joy into the Ryman Auditorium that night!
Live! At The Ryman was recorded live at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN on 27 February 2016, except “Eva Waits” which was recorded on 8 December 2016 at the Big Room in Chico, CA.
This is a genuine “had to be there”…no fix ups…no frills recording. Each of my guitars has pickups and microphones that are included when you buy them, so the sound you hear from this recording is exactly as it sounds in the hall.
My heart felt thanks to Brian Penix for coming up with the idea to record this night.
My memory of my performance was a lot worse than it really turned out to be, and I am grateful for that.
We’re all out of physical copies of Live & Solo in Pensacola, Florida, but don’t fret ; ) You can rent or download on iTunes and Amazon!
Recorded early 2013 at the Jean & Paul Amos Performance Studio in Pensacola, Florida, this movie contains 17 tracks of Tommy exactly how you want him: live solo and acoustic! Tommy tells stories behind select songs throughout the performance.
For the last two years, some of the best guitar players on the planet have come to Malibu, to take part in the country’s newest, fastest-growing music Festival. Virtuoso geniuses like Tommy Emmanuel, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Albert Lee, Lawrence Juber, Richie Sambora, Orianthe and many many more.
Now the Malibu Guitar Festival is back for year 3, and we can’t wait to announce the incredible artists we’ve got on deck. The Festival runs through May 18-21, with an all-star charity night on Thursday and a night of hot licks and fantastic jams on Friday- both at Casa Escobar, then a full day of music at Malibu Village on Saturday May 20. We’ll round things off with a Stones Brunch on Sunday. So- SAVE THE DATES!!!
Plus, all week they’ll be having jam-sessions, master-classes, swap-meets, schools performances, guitar demos, and a one-of-kind guitar themed art show.
The Malibu Guitar Festival is the brainchild of local producers Doug DeLuca and John Watkin, and has already raised tens of thousands of dollars for local charities.
