The exuberance that Grammy-nominated guitarist Tommy Emmanuel brings to every note of every song he plays is palpable. His worldwide fan base is captivated by his virtuosic ability to play three parts at once, with pure heart and real soul.

Influenced by the Merle Travis/Chet Atkins fingerstyle of guitar picking, Emmanuel has developed a style of solo playing that encompasses the range of a whole band – covering drums, bass, rhythm and lead guitar, and a vocal melody simultaneously. No loop pedals. No overdubs. Just one guitar and ten fingers.

In 2018, Emmanuel released Accomplice One, an album full of duets with excellent musicians who reflect his expansive love of all kinds of music, and the tour behind that project included a stop at LOH.

Now comes the sequel album – Accomplice Two – and Emmanuel’s long-awaited return to our stage. Accomplice Two shares the same joy-filled sense of adventure as the first album, with a great range of artists including Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, The Del McCoury Band, Sierra Hull, David Grisman, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and Raul Malo.
