Tommy Emmanuel with Special Guest Cris Jacobs

The authentic exuberance that two-time GRAMMY nominated Tommy Emmanuel brings to every show and every record is especially powerful, given the profound deficit of real joy in so many lives. Emmanuel’s happiness, like his music, is pure and expressed in real-time. Nothing is phony. It’s a quality that does reach far beyond any one language, and it’s instantly understood by all his fellow humans. It’s the reason he smiles so much while playing, and why his audience does as well. As many have said, it’s hard not to be happy at his shows. Because his joy, and the timeless river of inspiration, which is the source, is universally recognized. And it feels good.
