..."Clearly a good singer with a uniquely admirable consistency in her lyrical abilities, Emily’s songs and performance last week seemed to shun a stifling “hipsteresqe” genre or style, so too often the norm, and exuded a refreshingly traditional focus on songcraft. Emily’s influences are the most lyrically-driven geniuses of our time, and she’s learned very well to tell her stories, or paint her verbal pictures without forcing the words to the melody for the passive listener. Thank you for that."

"Here is a singer songwriter worth checking out. She is NYC born musician, who has already made a name for herself in Ireland and is now back to take on her native city. She writes brilliantly thought provoking folk music accompanied with a voice that is so rich and poignant that it hurts the heart. She an absolutely brilliant musicians that will be gathering buzz over the next couple of months that could definitely break her in to the NYC mainstream. Check her out before she hits it big."

Cheers for the add, Emily. Hope all is well with you here in NYC...coffee or a pint sometime maybe? All the best... -Parker aka "Not-Quite-Johnny-Depp"
Hey Little Missy! I'll be in Boston from the 3rd-7th of May, with the exception of one day which I'll be in NY. You around for a beer (and maybe even a burping contest in which my ego will be severely deflated)?? :)
miss ur voice... thinking about times when i just had to walk down the street and listen to u busking in the cold.. it..s almost a year now since we met, almost^^
Love your sound. If you're ever in St. Augustine, FL and want to play, I could find you a stage in a heartbeat. Keep up the good work and look forward to hearing more.
So here's me sitting in the coffee shop at college taking a break from writing french essays. Picture the scene! And I'm reading an article about northern irish politics and the elections in the states and car bombs in the middle east. And it occurs to me, that I recognize something. But i'm not sure exactly what I recognize. Yet I know that something feels vaguely familiar. And I look up, to see if anyone else recognizes something, but they're just downing expressos on a slow saturday morning. Maybe it's just me. And then I hear the radio. The song seems familiar. But it's not too loud, and the melody is getting lost in the coffee machine noises. And then the queue disappears, no more coffee machines... Chocolate milk!!! But to be sure, I wander in the direction of the radio, and hoora, it's emily!! It turns out that one of the girls working there bought your cd from you on shop street last summer, and she likes it very much. We miss you emily!!!!!!
hey Emily, how's things? figured i'd finally drop you a line. hope you're doin well. keep up the great music, stick to your guns and magic will happen. By the way, Raf's over in new york as well. anyway, be well!
Emily, when are you guys coming south! I need you here, I cant stand the madness on my own anymore! And I can..t sing your songs by heart yet :o( and they don..t sound so cool out of my mouth in that field of grass bigger than me, kolibri and purple flowers... emilie, sit by my side for a while!
Sure Mure, you wanna grab one of those spots from Latch for Sidewalk?? He's got some dates open, check the message board thingy. Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
you need to go to youtube immediately and type in Bellowhead-Rigs of the Times. It's on "Later..with Jools Holland".It's the most amazing song. it's like celtic gypsy music with oboe and other stuff. I promise you'll freak out when you see it!
