About Me

Tagline
Tommч Emmanuεl Has Touchεd Us All
Me, Myself, and I
Tommy was born in the New South Wales town of Muswellbrook in the Upper Hunter. He began to play guitar at the age of 4 and by the age of 5, was a working professional musician, as much of his childhood was spent touring Australia with his family band, playing rhythm guitar.

After his father died in 1966, he started to give guitar lessons at the tender age of 12. He first came to be noticed nationally when he won a string of talent contests in his teen years, and by the late 1970s, he was playing with his brother Phil in the group Goldrush. During the early 1980s, he joined the reformed lineup of leading '70s rock group Dragon, touring widely with them, including a 1987 tour with Tina Turner, before leaving to embark on a solo career.

Many thanks to Tommy Emmanuel ;; You have inspired me greatly in my life ;; Listening to you makes me never want to give up on my dreams ;; Yours came true ;; Keep up the good work ;; I love it !
