Location: St Louis | TOMMY EMMANUEL: HANDS ON-GUITAR WORKSHOP
Wed. Oct. 07....From 7 PM-10 PM in the Fazio's Performance Room
Admission: $80 ($50 for students & military with valid ID)
Two-time Grammy nominee Tommy Emmanuel has a professional career that spans over four decades and continues to intersect with some of the finest musicians throughout the world. A household name in his native Australia, Tommy has garnered hundreds of thousands of loyal fans worldwide. Tommy's unique style - he calls it simply "finger style" - is akin to playing guitar the way a pianist plays piano, using all ten fingers.
Guitar legend Chet Atkins was one of the first to inspire Emmanuel to pick up the guitar as a child. Decades later, Atkins himself became one of Emmanuel's biggest fans. In 1999, Chet honored Tommy Emmanuel with the title of "Certified Guitar Player" for his lifetime contribution to the instrument, a rare honor shared by only three other people in the world (Jerry Reed, Steve Wariner and John Knowles). Atkins eventually recorded with Tommy in 1996 on "The Day the Finger Pickers Took Over the World", for which Emmanuel received his first Grammy award nomination. This was also Atkins last recording.
Come and learn some fantastic techniques and guitar playing approaches from one of the finest guitarists on the planet on Wed. Oct. 07 @ 7 PM @ Fazio's. Remember to bring your guitar!!
Please RSVP to: 636-227-3573 or brianv@faziosmusic.com

$600 for 2 tickets to see Steely Dan or

Me, I'd have to save the $520 and spend some time with Tommy. |
