Hi there! And welcome! I’m Michael MacManus, CEO and founder of Concerts in America LLC.
I am a former classical guitarist (Master degree in music performance) who now works full time as a concert promoter.
I started organising concerts as a hobby back in 2012 while I was studying classical guitar performance at Melbourne University, Australia.
As a student, I wanted to learn from visiting artists and see them in concert, so whenever I heard a great guitarist was visiting Australia I made it my mission to make sure they came and played in Melbourne.
This grew organically over the years, and turned into a yearly guitar festival, then a national concert series.

This grew organically over the years, and turned into a yearly guitar festival, then a national concert series.
Now I live in South Korea with my wife and two sons (5yrs and 3yrs), and I maintain a very busy concert schedule with events in America, Australia and the UK!
America is certainly my biggest platform now and I am really excited to share some amazing artists with you in concert.
For the time being, you will notice our programming is VERY guitar heavy…. It’s what I know and love! We will be adding more genres in the future, but hopefully my backstory gives you an insight into why we feature so much guitar.
My guarantee to you: We will only ever present the world’s greatest artists in concert. You will experience something truly unforgettable at all of our concerts.
We also strive to break down barriers between performers and audiences. Although our events are respectful listening environments, we do want you to feel relaxed and experience a true connection with our artists. You will always have the opportunity to meet our performers after the concert, where you can ask questions and have a photo together.
Finally, we want our events to be ACCESSIBLE for all! This is why we offer heavily discounted early bird and group booking tickets to ALL of our concerts!
So please book early to ensure you can take advantage of our cheaper tickets!
I hope you can join us at un upcoming event and experience first-hand the magic these artists create in concert!
