Elias Bartholomeo is a Solo Fingerstyle Guitar Player hailing from Sydney, Australia. Elias’ playing has been described as “Walking a tightrope between many genres all at once!”
Elias embarked on his musical journey at the tender age of 4 under the guidance of his grandfather. Immersed in the sounds of Jerry Reed, The Shadows, Chet Atkins & Tommy Emmanuel, Elias was inspired to emulate their mastery. Despite being self-taught and unable to read music, he honed his craft through ear training and collaboration with fellow musicians.
At 16 years old, Elias had the opportunity to live out his dream and perform alongside Tommy Emmanuel in the Maui Cultural Arts Centre, Hawaii – an experience that further fueled his passion for music. Over the years, he has had the privilege of collaborating with numerous musicians from across the globe, enriching his musical repertoire.
Over the last few years, extensive touring and travelling around Australia has been undertaken and Elias has slowly been building a strong profile in the Live Music & Guitar community, playing at Festivals, Theaters and Halls as a ‘solo show’ and with other great Guitar Players from around the country.
