  Tommy Emmanuel

  Grammy-winning guitarist Tommy Emmanuel has spent more than six decades performing for audiences around the world with his virtuosic finger-style playing, infectious energy and adventurous spirit. Hailed by Chet Atkins as a Certified Guitar Player—an honor bestowed on only five musicians—Emmanuel has headlined everywhere from Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House, collaborated with icons like Eric Clapton, Les Paul, and Mark Knopfler, and inspired generations with his genre-defying artistry. His new album, Living in the Light, is one of his boldest projects yet. Recorded in four days with producer Vance Powell (Jack White, Chris Stapleton), the record captures the raw immediacy of Emmanuel’s live shows, with most tracks cut in one or two takes. Blending acoustic pop, jazz, roots, classical, and even his own vocals, the songs range from the cinematic “Young Travelers” and soaring “Gdansk” to personal pieces like “Little Georgia” and “Scarlett’s World”, both written and named for his granddaughters. Now, recently celebrating his 70th birthday, Emmanuel is continuing to reinvent himself and inspire audiences worldwide. “I wasn’t chasing perfection with this album,” he says. “I was chasing honesty. As I get older, I find myself taking more risks and having a lot more fun in the process. When young people come to my shows and have this awakening that it’s okay to be different, that the possibilities of music and self-expression are limitless, that’s what it’s all about for me”.

  MEMI

  MEMI debuted as a singer-songwriter in May 2022, following her influencer activities - uploading electric guitar performance videos and original songs on social media. Growing up listening to pop-punk, alternative rock, and nu-metal music in the early 2000s, as well as her experiences as a guitarist for indie bands '24 Hours' in the 2010s, provided the foundation for MEMI to create her own brand of new rock music. Her music revolves around the theme of not losing the kitsch amidst heavy electric guitar sounds, presenting addictive guitar riffs and original lyrics in her songs showcased on social media. With over 4 million views domestically and internationally, her music has garnered considerable attention from rock music enthusiasts.
  Handling music production, music videos, artwork, and content planning all by herself, MEMI has amassed over 850,000 followers on social media since her debut, and she plans to expand her activities with her music and guitar performances in various ways in the future.
