Australian fingerstyle virtuoso, one of Australia's most respected and beloved musicians and celebrated by many as the world's best guitarist is getting older. Today he celebrates 67th birtday!
Tommy 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 Certified Guitar Player by his idol, music icon Chet Atkins.
Thousands of fans have spent years trying to imitate Tommy’s technique. His approach is always song and emotion first, his soulful spirit, sense of hope and his love for entertaining.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMMY!
