Tommy Emmanuel mini-concert with host Stephen Kallao

Tommy Emmanuel’s finger picking style was once described as “fearless” …by Chet Atkins! Emmanuel’s latest album, Accomplice Two, features the talents of Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Sam Bush, and Jerry Douglas, all while showcasing Tommy’s signature, blistering guitar playing. Today, the world-renowned acoustic player joins the World Cafe to share a set of songs, recorded live during AmericanaFest 2023.
