Tommy Emmanuel is regarded as one of the greatest acoustic guitarists of all time. He is an Australian guitarist known for his complex fingerstyle technique, energetic performances, and the use of percussive effects on the guitar. Originally a session player in many bands, Emmanuel carved out his own style as a solo artist, releasing award-winning albums and singles. Guitar Player magazines readers poll named him "Best Acoustic Guitarist" in both May 2008 and 2010. In June 2010, Emmanuel was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia. In 2011, Emmanuel was inducted into the Australian Roll of Renown. Chet Atkins invited Tommy into guitarist knighthood by bestowing upon him the coveted title of CGP, Certified Guitar Player, an honor awarded only to four other humans ever.
Kim Parent found success as a songwriter beginning in the late 1990s and more success as a background vocalist in the studio with JoDee Messina, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Aaron Tippin, Reba, and many others. She sang with Brooks & Dunn for their final 6 years of touring, following that up by joining a 3 year tour with legendary pop artist Christopher Cross. She also found a home at the Grand Ole Opry as one of the house background singers, appearing there every month for 7 years with many legendary country artists.
Kims musical career spans 5 years of professional songwriting, 7 years at the Grand Ol Opry, 10 years of touring with nationally known acts, 30+ years of singing in studios, and over 50 years of performing live with her acoustic guitar as a journeyed singer-songwriter.
