— Tommy Emmanuel

NASHVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Multi-award winning acoustic guitar virtuoso Pierre Bensusan is about to embark on his 2026 “Infinite Guitar Tour”. The French-Algerian superstar is riding high from his historic 50th anniversary tour last year, which saw him perform over 125 shows across North America, with well over a third sold out.

One of the world’s most eloquent World Music artists of our time, Pierre is known as “Mister DADGAD” for his mastery of the unique guitar tuning style.

When Michael Hedges titles one of his compositions “Bensusan”, you know that the inspiration behind it must be special and Pierre Bensusan certainly is. Guitarists from Leo Kottke to Larry Corryel, to Tuck Andress, Tommy Emmanuel, Mark Knopfler, Andrew York, Andy Timmons, to Steve Lukather… have sung his praises, and Steve Vai released three Bensusan albums on his label Favored Nations. And it’s not just guitarists who are so inspired by Pierre’s music, as a recent studio collaboration with him on Donny Osmond’s latest album “Start Again” goes to show.

Pierre begins his “Infinite Guitar Tour” September 16th in North Carolina. The tour will stretch from Florida in the Southeast, from Southern California to Washington in the Northwest.
