Acoustic guitar virtuoso Tommy Emmanuel took the stage at the Victory Theatre Friday night and dazzled hundreds of music aficiados with his unique ability to produce the sounds of an entire band all by himself. Emmanuel performed two one hour sets packed with covers of familiar hits from decades past, interspersed with some original music from his latest albums. In between the music, Emmanuel kept the crowd amused with jokes and stories, all told in his native Austrailian accent.
“The Victory Theatre is very please with the community support for the show,†said General Manager Ben Bolander. “It was a true pleasure to have a legendary acustic artist like Tommy to play at the Victory Theatre.
