Tommy Emmanuel at Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame
On Saturday, June 26th, guitar master Tommy Emmanuel and bluegrass power-duo Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley will perform together live at the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum in Owensboro, Kentucky, presented by American Patriot Getaways.
Hailing from Australia, Emmanuel is revered world-wide for his unique finger-picking style on the acoustic guitar, and has received praise from guitar royalty, including Chet Atkins. Originally a session player in many bands, Emmanuel carved out his own style as a solo artist, releasing award-winning albums and singles. In the May 2008 and 2010 issues of Guitar Player magazine, he was named "Best Acoustic Guitarist" in its readers' poll.
Joining Emmanuel, Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley have formed a powerful duo in the bluegrass world. Ickes, a 15-time IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) Dobro Player of the Year winner, has been at the forefront of Dobro players for decades. As a co-founder of the influential Blue Highway, Ickes has been a sought-after Nashville session player and musician for decades, with credits to his name such as Vince Gill, Earl Scruggs, Merle Haggard, Alan Jackson, Reba McEntire and Alison Krauss. Trey Hensley is a Tennessee-born guitar prodigy who made his Grand Ole Opry debut at the age of 11 and has been called “Nashville’s hottest young player” by Acoustic Guitar magazine. His soulful baritone vocals have received acclaim as well.
