Rik Emmett

After five decades in the biz, the adjectives ‘prolific’ and ‘eclectic’ frequently pop up in Rik Emmett’s profiles. Following over a dozen platinum albums from his Triumph years, he’s produced 19 more as a non-platinum indie, ranging from rock to blues to jazz to folk to classical – which led to the making of a new full-blown rock record again in 2016, RES 9, for the MASCOT / PROVOGUE label on a worldwide deal. International notoriety earned him entry into three Canadian Halls of Fame, and a star on the Walk of Fame in his old hometown. He’s also picked up a few ‘Best Guitarist’ awards from different organizations, in various style categories, along the way. www.rikemmett.com Presented by Meaford Hall.
