My name is Vicky Emerson and thank you for stopping by my page. All of the music is free for you to download and I hope you will take the tunes with you. I write and sing my own songs and feel very fortunate to make my living playing music on my keyboard and guitar. My piano lessons began at age 6 and my guitar playing began at age 26, so I guess you could say I’m a bit more advanced on the keys.
I grew up in rural Wisconsin in a small town that has proclaimed themselves as the “UFO Capital of the World.” Weird, I know. Then, I attended a small college in Wisconsin for music, which was fun and I learned so much about music and music composition. However, I never really lived in a large city until now. Currently, I live in Manhattan, which was a pretty extreme change for a small town girl. I have lived here a full year and I have never found a place that is so full of wonder as this city. I play regularly at the Living Room and Kenny’s Castaways with Daniel Marcus, who is a very talented multi-instrumentalist. My albums were recorded with some amazing musicians from Minneapolis and my most recent release is self-titled because each song blossomed from a deeply personal experience. I would categorize my style of music as Americana--a blending of folk, blues and a little touch of country. I am proud to be an independent musician and I hope you enjoy my music. Thanks for listening.
It was so great visiting with you last week! (oh, if only we could say on the air what we talk about off the air) It's always fun to catch up....
Gotta tell you - I have thought about that new song you played almost EVERY DAY since. A theme everyone can relate to and a great melody. Of course, your beautiful voice and interpretation seal the deal. Haunting...it speaks to the subconscious. Can't wait until it's ready for purchase...you've got a real winner on your hands there.
Vicky! What an amazing show! You have a beautiful voice, but what I loved most was the easy conversational style of your songs and performance... I was so bummed that I had to duck out early, but I bought both CD's on the way out! And again, THANK YOU! I know Ted was extremely ticked by his birthday surprise! :)
Vicky, I am trying to book some shows in Minnesota and just came across a link to your website on the 318 website. I really like your voice. Great songs too. Unfortunately, I will still be in Atlanta and will miss your show there. Anyway, great stuff. Take care, Tim
I need a favor. I need you to go to You Tube and look at my new music video -- it's of a new original song called "Cook Somethin' Up," a tasty blues concoction filled with references to celebrity chefs from the Food Network.
Please take a look, write a comment on it, rank it and even subscribe to it. Please rate it and recommend it to other folks (tell 'em about this great new song you like, that they might also enjoy) and explain it's by a guy you know and like and would like them to pass the word. If you e-mail the link to a bunch of your friends, it'll help me by getting the word out.
I appreciate whatever help you can provide. I think the song i good and I'd like to get as many people as possible to listen to it.

Ps...I'm great! I just got back from a 2 week trip to China. It was absolutely incredible. I've got the travel bug again. Booking a ticket today for another adventure next February!
Your wedding pictures are stunning! I miss your smile and energy here in Minneapolis! I'm going to try to make it to a show or two this summer. Congrats and the warmest wishes on your marriage!
Hi Vicky! Thanks for the +!! If you liked the xtreme sports mouse pic, you should love this one too... note even the dog is lined up to get frisked. I love your songs and your voice is positively hypnotic. Great production value in your recording as well. Where can I buy a CD??
