ETV to Feature Acoustic Guitarist Tommy Emmanuel in “Center Stage”
For Immediate Release
November 17, 2009
Columbia, SC…On Monday, Dec. 7 at 7 p.m., ETV will spotlight renowned acoustic guitarist Tommy Emmanuel in “Center Stage.”
Australia's "Entertainer of the Year" and two-time Grammy nominee, Emmanuel delivers a dazzling performance with the flair of unforgettable showmanship, flawless guitar skills and voluminous repertoire that never fails to amaze and engage his fans.
A household name in his native Australia, Emmanuel’s unique style - simply called "finger style" - is akin to playing guitar the way a pianist plays piano, using all ten fingers. Guitar legend Chet Atkins honored 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.
“Center Stage” is a refreshing mix of new and fan favorites from previous projects like The Mystery and Endless Road. Introduced are four never-before recorded songs of Emmanuel’s - “Ruby’s Eyes”, “The Jolly Swagman”, "Lenny Bro’” and “Papa George” (inspired by George Harrison).
South Carolina ETV is the state's public educational broadcasting network with 11 television and eight radio transmitters, and a multi-media educational system in more than 2,500 schools, colleges, businesses and government agencies. Using television, radio and the web, SCETV's mission is to enrich lives by educating children, informing and connecting citizens, celebrating our culture and environment and instilling the joy of learning.
