PATRONAGE INTRODUCTION:

The history of art does not exist without great patronage. From the de' Medici family and Michelangelo to the Sforza family and Leonardo da Vinci, arts patronage has funded some of the greatest works of Renaissance Europe and beyond.

LIKE THE NIGHT ITSELF - NOW SUBMITTED ‘FOR YOUR GRAMMY CONSIDERATION’ IN THREE CATEGORIES

“It’s your job to take this art form to a new generation” - Tommy Emmanuel AM

Driven by an unwavering vision to create music that stands the test of time, I’ve built this project since its inception in 2022 with the support of incredible patrons who chose to believe in the vision early. Initially through the Australian Cultural Fund, and now privately, I owe the creation of this album these supporters. Working with an art form I’m committed to for decades to come, I have a resolve not only to the purity of my own musical expression, but to the deeper impact I’ve seen it have. And it is with great pride that I announce my ‘FOR YOUR GRAMMY® CONSIDERATION’ campaign with the following entries:

  • Like The Night Itself - submitted for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album

  • Nocelle - submitted for Best Instrumental Composition

  • La Casa di Ponsacco (feat. Tommy Emmanuel) - submitted for Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella
