Tommy Emmanuel

A Tommy Emmanuel concert is like no other– he plays sizzling melodies, fills in the rhythm section and weaves in a thumping bass—all on his own on a single guitar! There is no double tracking and no synthesized pre-recored accompaniment. On top of that, he also plays the drums, sings and entertains with his affable, approachable style.

The new “solo guitar orchestra” style is emulated by many of today’s most outstanding young players, forming a huge fan base around the world. This has also given rise to festivals entitled Tommyfests where the master plays, teaches, jams and inspires a new generation of talented musicians.

Catch this guitar maestro for his 1-day only Concert!

Time: 8.00pm

Venue: DBS Auditorium

Tickets: S$68, S$58, S$48 (excludes booking fee)
