Hailed as one of the best acoustic guitarists in the world by NPR's World Cafe, Tommy Emmanuel got his start at the age of six, when he first began touring his native Australia with his family's band. As a teenager, he earned a reputation as a highly sought after sideman and session player, and by his early twenties, Emmanuel was playing on chart-topping hits and performing with acts like Air Supply and Men at Work. Inspired in part by his hero, Chet Atkins (who would later become a friend, mentor, and collaborator), Emmanuel stepped out on his own as a solo artist in 1979, releasing the first in a string of acclaimed instrumental albums that would make him an unlikely celebrity in his home country and beyond. Recorded in just four days, Emmanuel's latest album, Living In The Light, stands as the most daring and most rewarding collection in the globetrotting fingerpicker's remarkable catalog, fusing his pop, jazz, classical, and roots influences into a virtuosic masterwork.

The North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie is fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Both theatres feature wheelchair accessible seating locations, for patrons who wish to remain in the wheelchair, or transfer out of the wheelchair into a theatre seat. These seats are also available to be used by companions of patrons who are using wheelchairs. If you require accessible seating due to limited mobility, please contact the box office by phone and ask your ticket agent for availability. For patrons with hearing impairment: The North Shore Center features a ListenTech RF assistive listening system available for all shows on a first come, first served basis. We ask that patrons using these devices please leave a drivers license, state identification card or credit card with the House Manager until the device is returned at the end of the performance. Both facilities are also equipped with telecoil loop systems which are a special type of sound system for people who use hearing aids. The loop system provides a magnetic wireless signal that is picked up by a hearing aid when it is set to the T setting (telecoil).
