Emily Stewart plays original songs rooted in the folk, country and blues traditions of the deep South. She first found her voice in a south Alabama church pew as a child, and her vocal style today harkens back to the Southern sirens of old. Her lyrics and melodies, on the other hand, channel the strength of Odetta, the twang of Kitty Wells and the softness of Loretta Lynn.
Based in Greensboro, North Carolina, she has ventured outside her solo project over the years to provide vocals, banjo, guitar, dulcimer, honkelulu and songwriting for other bands, including Magpie Thief, The Secret Admirers, The Grand Ole Uproar, Pete Pawsey, Matty Sheets & The Blockheads and Our Horse Jethro.
