| About Ember Schrag |
Ember Schrag showed up, 17 and with a 7-song repertoire, at the Magic Bean in Springfield, Missouri, for a Wednesday open mic. "We need more chicks around here," said the owner, who looked sort of like Bob Dylan only smaller and in a paisley shirt. "Want to play once a week?" Playing to a loyal crowd of six, Ember came up with a new song a week so they wouldn't get bored, and a fecund songwriter with a belief that it's fun to play for your friends was born.
A little later Ember moved to Lincoln, Nebraska, where she got an English degree and a duo partner guitarist Günter Voelker. For the last three years she/they have been playing about three shows a month with the philosophy that if someone asks them to play they'll do their best to say yes. They've performed with The Bowmans, Lowry, Ali Harter, Another Holiday, and Samantha Crain.
By now Ember has written over 60 songs and is currently writing the music for a play, a Shakespeare-spinoff called Nick's Dream. Writing for the play has involved taking psychedelic magic-flower-powder liberties with the forest scenes in A Midsummer Night's Dream: see "Cupid's Bloom." Right now she is finishing up a slow-burning recording project, and writing hip hop songs about pajamas for her new baby.
