Tommy Emmanuel "Center Stage" DVD Giveaway

by Staff.

Modern Guitars has five copies of the newly released Tommy Emmanuel Center Stage DVD to give away to lucky readers on November 20, 2008. Tommy Emmanuel’s performance at Sierra Nevada Brewing Company's Big Room in Chico, California, was filmed for his new Tommy Emmanuel: Center Stage DVD. The video firmly reinforces Tommy's world-wide reputation as one of the finest instrumentalists to step on a stage. His personal charm, musical virtuosity and adeptness at selecting captivating melodies guarantee his fans memorable performances.

The SN Brewing Company DVD presents Tommy alone with his three guitars, two of which are face damaged by his inclination to pummel them with percussionist abandon. One of Emmanuel’s most remarkable and inspiring displays of guitar-percussion is “Mombasa.” His hands slap all over the acoustic in a conga-beat before he slips in some sweet strums and melodic magic. Tommy’s clearly enjoys performing the tune while he grabs a drummer's brush to vigorously swat his guitar and the mic with slap happy abandon. Tommy Emmanuel: Center Stage showcases Emmanuel in all his artistry at a small intimate venue, where he explores the guitar terrain like no one else.

This giveaway has ended. The five winners are: Beth Shepherd, Bill Aldacushion, Bonnie Keller, Claudia Vitello and Dolores Kauffunger.
