WHO IS 

MISS EMILY? 

SHE SPECIALIZES IN OVERCOMING INSURMOUNTABLE CHALLENGES AND SCALING METAPHORICAL MOUNTAINS. HER WORK ETHIC WAS FORGED IN THE FOUNDRIES OF SOUTHERN ONTARIO, CANADA’S BARS AND NIGHTCLUBS. HER RESILIENCE IS A PRODUCT OF 20 YEARS IN AN INDUSTRY THAT CAN BE, AT BEST, “UNFRIENDLY” TOWARDS WOMEN. SHE HAS AN INNOVATIVE SPIRIT AND CREATIVE FORCE BORN OUT OF NECESSITY, AND HER INCOMPARABLE VOCALS ARE SURPASSED ONLY BY HER ELECTRIFYING, ROOF-RATTLING PERFORMANCES. 

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY NATIVE MISS EMILY HAS NOW CALLED KINGSTON, ONTARIO HOME FOR NEARLY TWO DECADES. NOMINATED FOR HER FIRST JUNO AWARD IN 2022 (BLUES ALBUM OF THE YEAR), EMILY HAS HAS BEEN THE RECENT RECIPIENT OF MAPLE BLUES FEMALE VOCALIST OF THE YEAR (2019 & 2021) AND NEW ARTIST OF THE YEAR (2019). 

HER LATEST ALBUM ‘DEFINED BY LOVE’ WAS RELEASED IN LATE 2022 TO RAVE REVIEWS AND WITH DATES IN CANADA, THE US, UK AND EUROPE IN 2023, THE FUTURE IS LOOKING VERY BRIGHT FOR THIS SEASONED MUSIC INDUSTRY VETERAN.

“Possessing one of the sweetest voices ever, Miss Emily… delivers 11 azure originals laced with soul and a dash of jazz along with a single cover… An album that’s all meat and no potatoes.”   - Marty Gunther’s ‘Red, Hot’n’Blues Reviews’ (Chicago Blues Guide; December 2022)


“Many artists are pigeonholed as one genre or another, their art rigidly judged by someone else’s tastes. This is unfair to those artists whose music expands genres or bridges them. Case in point, Miss Emily and her latest release ‘Defined By Love’… When I listen to this album I hear more than a voice. I heard the heart and soul behind that voice, the life experiences of the magnificent woman that is Miss Emily as expressed in Soul, RnB, Blues…” - Terry Parsons (Maple Blues Newsletter; October 2022)

Miss Emily; Winning the Race and Loving It”

EXCERPT: “The talent was always there and that alone would make any Miss Emily show ‘superior’ to most. Twenty odd years of having to be tough, having to survive and having to learn. Vocal exercises and maintenance. Physical maintenance. The history of music and music of history. Timing, spacing and listening. Been there - done that for Miss Emily.” (RickKeeneMusicScene.com)



“Miss Emily Album Launch (Roots Music Canada)”

EXCERPT: “…she hit the bandstand with 25 years of custom-tailored talent and that uniquely Canadian charisma that is generated from a candidly personal comedic attitude backed up by real talk… With her impressive stature, immense wingspan and an innate joie de vivre that never flagged over two sets, she maintained a masterful rapport with the audience…” (RootsMusic.ca)
