Tommy Emmanuel Announces New U.S. Tour Dates

Tommy Emmanuel has announced a spate of new U.S. headline tour dates starting July 15 in Homer, New York. For this run Emmanuel will be joined by various guitarists including Jorma Kaukonen, Mike Dawes and Joe Robinson 

Tickets are on sale Friday, March 1 at TommyEmmanuel.com.

In January, Emmanuel and John Knowles released the collaborative instrumental album, Heart Songs. Recorded at EastWest Studios in Los Angeles, Heart Songs features arrangements of Hank Williams’ "Cold, Cold Heart," the Bee Gees’ "How Deep Is Your Love," Billy Joel’s "Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)" and Michael McDonald’s "I Can Let Go Now" among its 14 tracks.

Said Emmanuel about the album, "A 'heart song' is really a love song. Love has many facets—love of family, romantic love. So we started there and then looked for melodies that could be played with heart."
