About Us
Pop Standards and Originals
Emily grew up singing and dancing and generally making lots of noise, so it was New York City, of course, where she found her home, the energy and sounds so intense they seemed to match and mesmerize her like a baby shortly before it's off to sleep. This is where she found her style, and under the guidance of local award-winning club directors and performers, Emily headlined self-produced acts at Metropolitan Room, Bar Thalia at Symphony Space, The Gershwin Hotel, Miles’ Café, Club Macanudo, Don’t Tell Mama, the Duplex, and others. She was the National Anthem singer for the U.S. Navy change of command ceremony on the USS Intrepid, and a singer on Carnival Cruise Lines. Eventually she discovered a new love: playing her original alt-pop songs with jazz musicians, which culminated in a self-produced EP entitled Top of the Water.
Remote Recordings
During the isolation of the pandemic, Emily was a participant in the massive collaborations that musicians all over the world became involved with, as they struggled to work around limitations and still produce their own live music. Emily recorded vocals on her phone which were mixed with instrumentalists’ tracks for reworks of classics such as “Another Spring” and “Shiver Me Timbers.” Reuniting with her longtime musical mentor and dear friend, Rick Jensen, shortly before his death, Emily feels they made their best song that they ever did together, “After the Gold Rush.”
Live Bookings
Emily has used this time to get back to her roots: singing in the choir. A healing combination of spirituality and vocalization has been key for her during this time and she looks forward to sharing it with wonderful musicians she has recently met, as well as those she has worked with for a long time. Having recently relocated to central Jersey from Manhattan, Emily has opened musical bookings to Bucks County and surrounding areas.
interesting, intelligent, eclectic, very appealing
