Becoming a Dead Head was and still is a remarkable thing, much richer and more complex than simply deciding to like a band.  It means becoming part of a community, a family of kindred souls.  It’s about celebration but also about learning – new music forms, whether it’s obscure blues or chanting monks or … everything.

Two of the three remaining Certified Guitar Players (an honor bestowed by Chet Atkins)--TOMMY EMMANUEL and JOHN KNOWLES--will release their collaborative instrumental album HEART SONGS on Friday, January 11 via CGP Sounds/Thirty Tigers.

The tour wraps February 26 in Nashville at the Grand Ole Opry.

With multiple sold out dates and special guests Circles Around The Sun, Billy Strings and the Cris Jacobs Band joining them, this is sure to be their most exciting tour yet.
