Famed music personality RIKI RACHTMAN—former host of MTV’s “Headbanger’s Ball and co-owner of the iconic Hollywood rock club “Cathouse”—has been touring across the U.S. and Australia including sold-out dates in NYC, Nashville, Charlotte, Chicago, and Sydney. In his one-man show “One Foot In The Gutter,” named after his trademark phrase, RACHTMAN shares uncensored, never-before heard stories along with previously unseen photos and videos from his experience of being at the epicenter of the most decadent era of rock & roll history throughout the late 80’s and early 90’s. “We were not sure what to expect,” shared Kevin Zink (owner of Flint, MI’s staple music venue Machine Shop). “We don’t normally do storyteller type shows but every person in attendance was engaged for the whole two and a half hours and left having the best time. ‘One Foot In The Gutter’ was one of our favorites shows ever.”

“The show is hilarious at times but also takes a serious turn and shares my battle with drugs, time in jail, pornstar girlfriends and some rock star feuds,” says RIKI. “It’s a rag to riches to rags story like no other. The show also recounts through videos and photos some of the most iconic moments of ‘Headbangers Ball.’ It might be the episode with Nirvana or going to the waterpark with Alice In Chains. It’s all there but also filled with many unexpected twists and turns.”

RIKI elaborates: “I’ve had a pretty incredible career but nothing has been as rewarding as these shows. I have revealed stuff on stage that I have never told anyone. I don’t know why I feel so comfortable up there. To meet people across America and Australia that truly enjoyed the show is one of the coolest things I have ever experienced.

RACHTMAN will bring back the show one last time across the Southwest starting August 2 in New Orleans, LA at House of Blues and including a special homecoming show on August 13 in Hollywood at the Bourbon Room, just down the street from where Cathouse was located.

“The Hollywood show will be unique because there will be stories in my show that involve people that are out in the audience,” RIKI reveals. “I’ll also have family members at the show that don’t know the true stories of my debaucherous past.”

Tickets and limited “VFI” (very f*cking important) packages which include a private Q&A plus 30-minute hang with RIKI along with a signed poster, exclusive merch and early entry are on sale now at https://www.cathousehollywood.com/ofitg.html. See full dates below.

YES Announce Their Next U.S. Tour “Classic Tales Of Yes” For This September

DATE: JULY 18, 2023

FROM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/ANDREA FAULK, SRO PR

YES
ANNOUNCE THE NEXT U.S. TOUR OF THEIR ONGOING CONCERT SERIES
“CLASSIC TALES OF YES”
STARTING SEPTEMBER 24 IN BETHLEHEM, PA
AND ENDING NOVEMBER 4 IN RIVERSIDE, CA

FOLLOW-UP TO LAST YEAR’S SOLD-OUT U.S. TOUR

Clockwise from front: Jay Schellen, Jon Davison, Billy Sherwood, Geoff Downes, Steve Howe

Following last year’s sold-out U.S. tour, YES, who are Steve Howe (guitars, vocals), Geoff Downes (keyboards), Jon Davison (vocals, acoustic guitar), Billy Sherwood (bass guitar, vocals), and Jay Schellen (drums), have today (July 17) announced their “Classic Tales Of Yes” tour in the U.S. starting September 24 in Bethlehem, PA and ending November 4 in Riverside, CA. Look for the tour—which is the latest presentation of their ongoing concert series illuminating their classic music—to include many iconic tracks from the influential and pioneering Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees’ catalog covering 50-plus years as well as music from their acclaimed new album MIRROR TO THE SKY (released May 19 on InsideOutMusic/Sony Music).

See below for the full list of tour dates, which will go on sale July 21. Go to www.yesworld.com/live for ticketing information.

Looking forward to the “Classic Tales of Yes” tour, STEVE HOWE said: “We’re putting together a great setlist covering the length and breadth of Yes’ career.”

“As always, we are committed to pushing new boundaries and are very excited to be performing another chapter in the rich legacy of the band,” added GEOFF DOWNES.

The evening will begin with an on-site presentation by world-renowned English artist and designer Roger Dean, whose masterful artwork of striking other-worldly landscapes has graced classic album covers and posters, most prominently by YES and Asia. Every show will feature a Roger Dean gallery in the venue’s reception/foyer area. His work—which also appears on the cover of MIRROR TO THE SKY—has sold more than one hundred million copies worldwide.

MIRROR TO THE SKY features not one, but four tracks clocking in at over eight minutes, with the sweeping and cinematic title track coming in just shy of fourteen minutes. What’s more, the tracks, like Yes’ best, take the listener on a wide dynamically ranging journey of soundscapes which also showcase Steve Howe’s dazzling guitars, Jon Davison’s angelic, crystalline vocals, Billy Sherwood’s deftly dancing bass, keyboard wizard Geoff Downes’ impeccable sounds, exquisite melodies and fills, and Jay Schellen’s masterfully controlled explosions, on drums. Jay Schellen, who has been touring with the band since 2016 as an additional drummer, was hand-picked to step into his mentor and friend Alan White role when White sadly passed away in 2022.

These are the videos released from MIRROR TO THE SKY:

“Cut From The Stars” HERE
“All Connected” HERE
“Circles of Time” HERE

Ultimate Classic Rock raved that “Mirror in the Sky breezes from one musical highlight to the next so deftly that you’re wanting more.” (May 17). Glide Magazine observed that “Mirror to the Sky” succeeds at proving the idea that Yes music will carry on long after the original members pass in a very special way. As the producer of this twenty-third studio album, [Steve] Howe has stepped in and helped create a soundscape in the vein of their classic material.” (May 18). Guitar World noted that “There’s a lot of classic prog keyboard and guitar interplay across “Cut From The Stars,’ but there’s lovely stuff from about 4.30 where Steve Howe and Geoff Downes exchange melodic pot shots.” (3/16).

AMERICANA SINGER-SONGWRITER, MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST, COMPOSER & PRODUCER
SHARES Q&A ON THE ‘MAKING OF’ NEW TRACK

ABBY POSNER showcases her jack-of-all-trades skillset as a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer with her newly released single, “Quiet On Sunset,” taken from her upcoming sophomore solo album SECOND CHANCES due August 11 via Blackbird Record Label. Available now across all digital platforms HERE, the music video for “Quiet on Sunset”—filmed on Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles, CA–was exclusively premiered via Guitar Girl Magazine last Wednesday and is currently featured on CMT as one of their weekly highlighted music videos. Read more about the making of “Quiet On Sunset” in a Q&A with ABBY below. Stream the video for “Quiet On Sunset” below or via YouTube HERE.

“I wanted to create an electronic/folk song with lots of dark synths and basses blasting at the end,” says ABBY. “The organic elements I tracked with was the banjo and the marching drum…I love playing with texture when I produce, and I think there is something interesting in there about the two drastically different genres blending together–the duality of wants and needs within a relationship clashing.”

SECOND CHANCES marks ABBY’s debut release on Blackbird Record Label. ABBY produced, mixed, wrote and performed guitar, bass, drum, keys, banjo, mandolin, percussion and vocals for all 12 tracks at Sonic Boom Room Studios in Venice, CA with engineer Kevin Jarvis. Inspired by a life-changing breakup and the introspective soul-searching that followed, SECOND CHANCES embraces her genre-fluid blend of Americana, folk, indie pop and punk rock. The album’s debut track, “Simple Life,” (released June 7) was premiered via Glide Magazine who noted, “Channeling the majestic folk of 70s’ singer-songwriters with a modern Americana edge…Abby Posner certainly has a way with words, images, and echoing a sepia-toned light with her tunes that evoke the forthright sounds of Aimee Mann, Lydia Loveless and Lucinda Williams.”

ABBY, who identifies as queer (they/she), recently hosted Los Angeles’ Hotel Café’s first-ever Pride Festival event in June and will celebrate the release of SECOND CHANCES on Saturday, August 19 with a special headlining show in Santa Monica, CA at McCabe’s. Tickets are on sale now HERE. ABBY is also excited to announce she will be performing as an official showcase artist at AMERICANAFEST 2023 in Nashville, TN on September 21 at 7:00 PM at The Vinyl Lab. She will appear the following night, September 22, at The California Country Show AMERICANAFEST Specia Event at ACME Feed & Seed which takes place from noon – 7:00 PM.

Abby Posner “Quiet On Sunset” Q&A

–“Quiet On Sunset” is about romantic abandonment and the challenge of moving on when one is unwanted. Can you give us some background about the song? It is based on something you’ve gone through?

“Quiet on Sunset” was written after I went to my friend’s birthday party in a neighborhood that my ex-partner lived in. A neighborhood where we created a lot of memories together. I stepped outside and Sunset Blvd was so quiet for a moment. It felt like the world stopped, and I wanted to go by and see her, but I knew that our relationship wasn’t in a place where I could just show up at her door, so I went home to write this song instead.”

–It’s interesting that “Quiet On Sunset” is a gently strummed and softly sung lover’s plea, and that the final third of the song musically takes an upbeat turn, perhaps suggesting that you’re getting closer to the idea of moving past a fractured relationship—you’re also seen confidently smiling at this point in the video. As the album’s producer, can you talk about your production choices to accentuate the song’s sentiments?

“I think most importantly, I wanted the song-form to feel a little bit herky jerky on purpose, because that was an aspect of the relationship. There were a lot of push/pulls and ups and downs. I wanted to mirror that in the song structure. It is one of the only songs I have ever written where the chorus occurs once throughout the entire piece. The ending is the explosion. It was me letting out my frustration and anger that we could never get back to where we were. I wanted to create an electronic/folk song with lots of dark synths and basses blasting at the end. The organic elements I tracked with was the banjo and the marching drum…I love playing with texture when I produce, and I think there is something interesting in there about the two drastically different genres blending together–the duality of wants and needs within a relationship clashing.”

The “Quiet On Sunset” video shows you walking down one of the most famous streets in America, playing the song’s various instruments (acoustic guitar, bass guitar, banjo, snare drum, rhythm machine) which highlights your multi-instrumentalist skills. Can you talk the video’s concept and the stretch of Sunset Blvd where it was shot?

“I originally wanted to shoot this video in the exact neighborhood, but I didn’t want to take the risk of running into her–haha! So we changed location at the last minute and shot about 7 miles away in Los Feliz…still on Sunset Blvd, just not at the scene of the crime.”

–During the shooting of the video on the streets, did any unexpected things happen?

“If you watch at the very end of the video there are two women that run out of a store…I think it was on purpose, so they could be on camera. The funny thing was that they seemed really embarrassed after making that decision. it is hard to miss that shot, and it is actually one of my favorite moments of the music video.”

–The Second Chances bio says the album was “inspired by a life-changing breakup and the introspective soul-searching that followed.” What advice might you have for others who find themselves in a painful, angry place when a romance deteriorates?

“My advice is to feel all of the feelings. Do not avoid or push them away! Feel them deeply, feel the anger, feel the grief and sadness…you will be able to move on in a much healthier way. Repressing and rebounding too quickly never ends well. I am so grateful that I have my music to help me sort through all of the emotions. Everything becomes much clearer after I write a song, and I hope that others can use art and creativity in the same way.”

Indonesian rock trio VOICE OF BACEPROT (VOB) embarked on a career in music despite many challenges being from a small village, Singajaya, three and a half hours away from the nearest venue in the city of Garut, West Java; having to build their own modest practice studio due to lack of music facilities; and face the stigmas and unsolicited suggestions regarding religion and decency directed at them due to being Muslim females who playing heavy rock/metal music and wearing of the hijab on stage. Instead of letting any of this discourage them, VOB’s have used these setbacks to develop a strong character which they’ve portrayed throughout their debut full-length album RETAS out today across all digital platforms via 12WIRED. Stream/download RETAS now at: https://li.sten.to/vob-retas.

In Bahasa Indonesia, “retas” translates to “a body of of igneous rocks that breaks through by cutting through other rocks.” It epitomizes how the band see themselves and is collection of songs that embody their solid determination to break free and carve out their path as a band, as musicians, and as independent women.

“We have become rocks now,” shares vocalist/guitarist Marsya. “Hardened, rigid, and stiff due to all the doctrines in our minds. But through music and our friendship, we became fully aware that they must be cut through and broken regardless.”

With NTRL guitarist Coki Bollemeyer at the helm as producer for the newer songs on the album, RETAS comprises nine tracks, including album focus track “Age Oriented,” fan-favorite “What’s the Holy (Nobel) Today?” “The Enemy of Earth is You,” instrumental track “Kawani,” and four previous singles that they have released since 2018, including their breakthrough single “School Revolution” and the smash hit “God, Allow Me (Please) to Play Music”. See below for a full track-by-track breakdown.

“We really enjoyed making this album, thanks in no small part to Coki,” acknowledges Marsya. “His support and appreciation towards the hard work we put into the process have made a huge difference. It gave us the energy and confidence to give our very best.

“You must remember that we come from a village where many see women as inferior to men,” she explains. “After completing high school, we did not have a lot of options. It was either work at home or for a relative at a convenience store. Or marry someone our parents choose. More often than not, we were told it was ‘inappropriate and too soon’ and we ‘did not have enough experience’. There is a partiality towards age being the main benchmark to determine the merit of one’s artistic work. It meant the young must wait until they reach a certain age deemed worthy of independence to show their true potential.”

“We believe that an album is a quintessential representation of an artist’s creative journey, a portfolio of their creative output,” shares bassist Widi. “If the singles we released felt like separate pieces of our collective unravelling anxiety, then Retas is the glue that melds them all together as a whole, like a knot of threads that loops their way around until they become a complete work of art. It is like a gallery where artworks are displayed in all their glory.”

RETAS‘tracks were split up between co-producer Stephan Santoso, Yuka Dian Narendra and Coki Bollemeyer along with vocal direction from Irvan Natadiningrat on select songs. Mixing was completed by Stephen Santoso and Tue Madsen while being mastered by Grammy Award-winner Howie Weinberg (Garbage, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana). The album features stunning Sufism-inspired cover artwork illustrated by the prodigious Indonesian artist Dede Cipon.

VOB—Marsya (vocals & guitar), Widi (bass) and Sitti (drums)—will embark on their first-ever U.S. tour this August starting with a headlining show on August 3 in Los Angeles, CA at El Cid along with a featured set at Head In The Clouds Festival in Pasadena at at Brookside At The Rose Bowl. The trio will make their way to the East Coast and back wrapping up their final stop on August 19 in San Diego, CA at The Stage Room UCSD.

HYRO THE HERO showcases his visceral blend of intense heavy rock and rap vocals with his new single, a fist-pumping cover of Busta Rhymes’ platinum 1996 single “Woo Hah!! Got You All In Check,” out today (July 13) across digital platforms. Taken from his upcoming studio album BOUND FOR GLORY due September 15 via BETTER NOISE MUSIC, the cover track is accompanied by a lyric video (seen below) which features live-action performance footage of HYRO. Watch it below or directly on YouTube HERE. Stream/download “Woo Hah!! Got You All In Check” at https://hyrothehero.ffm.to/woohah.

“‘Woo Hah’ is my shout out to the old school classic hip-hop that made me,” divulges HYRO. “It’s a Hyro the Hero-style spin on a track that taught me how to recognize the importance of standing out as an artist compared to everyone else. Busta Rhymes was spitting fire on this track, so you know I had to come correct.”

Born and raised in Houston, TX, HYRO has timed the release of “Woo Hah!! Got You All In Check” to align with today marking 713 Day, an unofficial holiday which celebrates all things Houston that’s named after the city’s oldest area code. HYRO has curated a special Spotify playlist, “Hyro The Hero: H-Town Playlist,” of songs inspired by or from his hometown including artists ranging from 80’s rockers King’s X to rapper Mike Jones along with some of his own tracks including the recently released BOUND FOR GLORY single “Sho Nuff.” Listen to the Hyro The Hero: H-Town Playlist on Spotify now HERE.

HYRO, who is currently living in France, teamed up with Houston Chronicle to share his fondest memories of previous 713 Day festivities and a list of his “Top 10 Must Visit” places in Houston including the best restaurants, parks, clubs and more. Head over to Houston Chronicle’s Entertainment page to see all of his recommendations and read about how growing up in H-Town impacted his music career.

BOUND FOR GLORY features 12-tracks encompassing HYRO’s long journey to achieving success in music and the ups and downs it has put him through. “Sometimes you may have to go through fires, climb mountains, go face-to-face with enemies and maybe even leap tall buildings in a single bound,” says HYRO. “Somehow you keep going no matter what difficulties may arise because a fire inside is the energy that drives you and there’s a voice inside reminding you that you’re ‘Bound For Glory.’ My album is that voice and that fire is the music on this record.” BOUND FOR GLORY was recorded and produced by Matt Good (Asking Alexandria, Hollywood Undead) and includes guest appearances from David Draiman (Disturbed), Brandon Saller (Atreyu), Spencer Charnas and Dan Sugarman (Ice Nine Kills), Chad Gray (Hellyeah), AJ Channer (Fire From The Gods), REDDSTAR and Markus Videsäter (Solence). Pre-order’s are available now on CD, vinyl, cassette and digital download at https://hyrothehero.ffm.to/boundforglory.

As painful as this is, I’ve had to make the decision to bow out of performing on Power Trip in October.

My original plan was to return to the stage in the summer of 2024, and when the offer to do this show came in, I optimistically moved forward.

Unfortunately, my body is telling me that I’m just not ready yet and I am much too proud to have the first show that I do in nearly five years be half-assed.

The band that will be replacing me on Power Trip will be announced shortly. They are personal friends of mine and I can promise that you will not be disappointed.

Above all, I want to thank my fans, my band, and my crew for their unconditional loyalty and continual support.

I love you all and I will see you soon.

God Bless,

Ozzy

British rock luminaries ASKING ALEXANDRIA have spent the past 15 years paving their way to the top league of international rock acts, garnering two #1 albums, four RIAA Gold-certified singles and a #1 Active Rock radio-charting single amongst several Top 10 landing hits. Their explosive energy has captivated fans across the globe where the band has appeared on several of the largest rock and metal festivals and on sold-out headlining arena and club shows, earning more than 8 million followers across their social media platforms. ASKING ALEXANDRIA continue to raise the bar on their anticipated eighth full-length studio album WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? due August 25 via BETTER NOISE MUSIC.

The 11-track album was produced and mixed by Matt Good (Hollywood Undead, From First To Last), and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Deftones, Metallica) and Will Borza. The album is a culmination of the band’s career, melding their flagship sound with experimental electronics while its lyrics cover the band’s trademark themes of disenchantment, loss, anxiety, and dejection.

“‘Where Do We Go From Here?’ Is the culmination of our entire journey as a band,” shares lead guitarist Ben Bruce. “We worked really hard to incorporate every aspect of what our fans love about Asking Alexandria. We have taken elements from every single record we have ever written and pieced them all together to create one album. Our fans will find elements from ‘Stand Up and Scream,’ such as the synth-tinged breakdown on ‘Things Could Be Different,’ all the way through to ‘See What’s On The Inside’ on this album. Lyrically, the album explores themes of loss and struggle through to hope and finding your own inner strength. We are incredibly proud of this album, and we can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”

In the few years since their formation, NYC modern rock outfit TEMPT have created a style, verve, vibe and quality that is of their own making. Their tailored virtuosity is reminiscent of the giant rock acts of the 70s and 80s with a layer of timelessness that makes their music instantly memorable. The band–Zach Allen (lead vocals), Harrison Marcello (lead guitar), Christopher Gooden (bass) and Nicholas Burrows (drums)—are set to release their self-titled debut album on August 25 via BETTER NOISE MUSIC. The album was co-produced and mixed by Grammy Award-winner Chris Lord-Alge (Harry Styles, Foo Fighters, Muse) and Marcello at Sticky Audio Labs in NYC. Pre-orders are available now at https://tempt.ffm.to/temptalbum.

The quartet have also Today, July 7, the quartet have released a new single—the sparkling melodic rock anthem “Burn Me Down”—from the upcoming debut. The single is available to stream and/or download now across all digital platforms HERE. Watch its music video below or directly HERE.

“Our new single ‘Burn Me Down’ delves into the intense and addictive nature of a toxic love,” reveals ALLEN. “It captures the bittersweet realization that someone has the power to consume you completely, even when you know it’s not healthy. It’s a raw expression of the conflicting emotions that arise when you can’t resist the fire that’s destined to burn you.”

Marcello shares, “‘Burn Me Down’ reflects the chaos of passion and desire. We wrote it with driving riffs and electrifying energy to capture that feeling. it’s about the kind of love that both exhilarates and destroys, and the inner turmoil we experience when we’re caught in its relentless cycle, unable to escape the allure of someone who has the power to ignite and consume us.”

“Burn Me Down” follows the band’s irresistible May single “Roses”—a celebration of the human spirit and the power of positive energy—along with recently shared tracks including a cover of Queen’s classic hit “We Will Rock You” and “Living Dangerous (feat. Dorothy),” the latter of which was seen included on the soundtrack for the Better Noise Film’s 2022 horror-thriller The Retaliators. TEMPT have also earned admiration from audiences across the country by appearing as openers on arena stages with acts including Iron Maiden, Shinedown, Alter Bridge and Theory Of A Deadman and opening for Bon Jovi at Madison Square Garden.

Stay tuned for more new tour dates and further information in the coming weeks!

Grammy-nominated acoustic guitarist extraordinaire, composer and global touring artist TOMMY EMMANUEL is gearing up for a major U.S. tour launching July 12 in Grand Rapids, MI and wrapping December 13 in Sacramento, CA. The tour is pegged to his acclaimed current full-length collaborations album ACCOMPLICE TWO, the follow-up to his Accomplice One album (2018), released this past April via CGP Sounds (view the album’s critical praise HERE).

EMMANUEL has also shared a freewheeling “10 Questions” Q&A (below) where he talks about his inspirations and an array of subjects including his “Spinal Tap” moment; the JFK assassination; his desire to be on a bill with Carole King and James Taylor; and watching (as a kid) Neil Armstrong walk on the moon.

Produced lovingly by EMMANUEL, regarded by guitar great Chet Atkins as “one of the best guitar players I’ve ever seen,” the 16-track ACCOMPLICE TWO is a spirited mix of new takes on indelible classics and brand-new originals from TOMMY. His collaborators are some of the most remarkable musicians on the planet—an “A” list of musicians including Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Michael McDonald, Jamey Johnson, Raul Malo, and many more (the full list is HERE) EMMANUEL has continued to release videos including most recently these, filmed by Joshua Britt and Neilson Hubbard for Neighborhoods Apart.

“Mombasa” with Yasmin Williams
“Sweet Temptation” with The Del McCoury Band
“Daddy Frank (The Guitar Man)” with Jamey Johnson

ACCOMPLICE TWO is alive with the electric spirit of spontaneous, timeless joy created by inspired virtuosos. The combined artistry contained on these tracks is stunning, as is TOMMY’s cheerful ease at connecting naturally with this vast spectrum of musicians. Like the first volume, he merges the presence of beloved, legendary musicians—such as Jorma Kaukonen, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Little Feat, Sam Bush, the Del McCoury Band and Jerry Douglas—with the bright spirit of acclaimed young artists breaking through with deep artistry and true reverence for the power of song.

10 QUESTIONS WITH TOMMY EMMANUEL (2023)

Have you had a Spinal Tap moment in your career so far and can you describe it?

TOMMY: I’ve shown up at the wrong hall to play a show!!! Being a male, I don’t always follow directions well, and sometimes I’m convinced I know where I’m going!! That’s why I have a good Tour Manager…he knows!

If you could have a conversation with anyone who’s living or dead, who would it be and why?

TOMMY: If I could ask Jack Ruby to please tell me the truth about the assassination of JFK, I would love that!

Is there a song you crank up on Friday night to kick off the weekend—and a song you kick back with on a Sunday morning?

TOMMY: Every day is Saturday to me! Some days I like to listen to the Beatles, up loud, sing along and let go. Sometimes I need peace and quiet to be my sanctuary. I am always aware that I must try to preserve what hearing I have, as I was born with yellow fever, so I go carefully.

Which two artists would you like to appear on a dream bill with?

TOMMY: Carole King and James Taylor…What a song list that would be!!

Which famous historical event would you like to have witnessed and why?

TOMMY: I watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon in 1969. I was at school in the Town of Parkes, NSW, Australia. The radio telescope that beamed the images all around the world of this historic event, made it possible for us to see it as it happened!! We had no idea of the significance of being in Parkes on that day, but it was big!

What was the first concert you attended and what was it like?

TOMMY: My mother, Virginia, took me to my first concert. I was 5, and it was held in the Town Hall of the place we lived, Gunnedah, Australia. We sat in the front row, and as I watched the great Dave Bridge Trio play, my mum leaned in and whispered, “See how he smiles, looks at the audience, stands so straight and tall? See how he looks neat, his shoes are shiny, his hair is perfect, his guitar is glistening in the spotlights. He talks to us, and we can understand him. Don’t forget all these things!”

What do you look forward to most when you return home from touring?

TOMMY: I always love getting to cook my own dinner and sleep in my own bed when I come home from touring. Then I love driving my car!

What musical act, current or defunct, would you most like to see perform live?

TOMMY: I would love to experience Django Reinhardt live! Charlie Christian with Benny Goodman and his big band, too, and I would love to hear Hank Williams up close, just to feel that mojo!

You have one question to ask one musician. Go for it.

TOMMY: Hey Larry Carlton, what amp did you play the solo on “Kid Charlemagne” through? What a solo!! What a sound! BRAVO!!

Can you talk about a particular book and/or film that has helped shape your sensibility as an artist?

TOMMY: I don’t think there is just one book or movie that has shaped me as an artist. I think it has been my curiosity about some artists that have inspired me to keep reaching for higher standards, higher goals, and deeper meaning for my art/gifts/calling or reason for being who I am. I look at people who move the world, who inspire us all; they somehow show us a way, a trail, a clue as to what they do that causes them to touch our sensibilities. Writers, Actors, Musicians, Producers, Speakers, Comedians and sometimes those who deal with tough physical or mental challenges and still achieve great works that have GREAT meaning in our hurting world. These are the ones that cause me to trust in a power bigger than myself, that make me see that my life has purpose, meaning and momentum. So now I get to work with a full heart, trying to do something that might change someone’s life for the better.

ABOUT TOMMY EMMANUEL:

TOMMY EMMANUEL has achieved enough musical milestones to satisfy several lifetimes. At the age of six, he was touring regional Australia with his family band. By 30, he was a rock n’ roll lead guitarist burning up stadiums in Europe. At 44, he became one of five people ever named a CPG (Certified Guitar Player) by his idol, music icon Chet Atkins. Today, he plays hundreds of sold-out shows every year from Nashville to Sydney to London. He’s piled up numerous accolades, including two Grammy Award nominations, two ARIA Awards from the Australian Recording Industry Association (the Aussie equivalent of the Recording Academy); repeated honors in the Guitar Player magazine reader’s poll including a cover story for their August 2017 issue; a cover feature for Vintage Guitar’s July 2020 issue; and was Music Radar’s reader’s poll #1 winner of the Ten Best Acoustic Guitarists in The World (December 2019). A noted fingerstyle guitarist, EMMANUEL frequently threads three different parts simultaneously into his material, operating as a one-man band who handles the melody, the supporting chords and the bass all at once. His talents, which translate in any language, carry him to the far corners of the globe, but EMMANUEL never plays the same show twice, and he improvises big chunks of every date. That leaves him open to those technical imperfections, though they also provide some of the humanity to an other-worldly talent. On May 8, 2020, he released a newly recorded career-spanning double album, THE BEST OF TOMMYSONGS, via CGP Sounds/Cruzen Street Records). Watch the album trailer here which focuses on TOMMY’s unique ability to tell stories without words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SOQEMWYAQ4&feature=youtu.be. EMMANUEL subsequently released three EP’s with different collaborators, Accomplice Series Vol. 1, 2 and 3, the last of which was in 2022.
