Irish Native Tony McManus enchants the hard rock crowd
Monday, April 19, 2010
Before this evening, I never heard of a guy named Tony McManus. But I must say that after checking him out at the Dallas Guitar Show, I will say that I will never forget the name. Described as "the best Celtic guitarist in the world", McManus was by far the biggest surprise musically out of the whole show. Armed with only a Paul Reed Smith acoustic (provided to him by Paul Reed himself), McManus laid down acoustical masterpieces that were both moving and completely flawless.
What is even more impressive is that he was able to move a crowd to a full standing ovation composed mostly of hard rock fans that were there to see the other rock legends. I can safely say that I will be checking out his entire catalog very soon.
