Emily is a songwriter of staggering proportions, and her singing is even more astounding! A talented multi-instrumentalist, her tasteful accompaniment brings these songs to life. These songs are both old, and brand new; both simple folk songs and harmonically complex compositions; both original and clearly part of a larger tradition; both heartbreaking and joyous. This is what great songwriting sounds like. From the plaintive singing and banjo work of “Pale Winter Beauty”, to the rollicking ragtime fingerpicking of “Taken Aback”, to the exquisite old-timey fiddle on “John Lover is Gone”, Emily proves that she is a musical force to be reckoned with. Keep an eye on this multifaceted and gifted singer-songwriter-musician.
