Description

Emmaline Presented by The Grey Eagle and Worthwhile Sounds ALL AGES Emmaline Emmaline brings her smoky, jazz-infused stylings to The Grey Eagle stage in Asheville NC on August 24th for an ALL AGES show at 8pm. 7PM DOORS / 8PM SHOW ALL AGES STANDING ROOM ONLY EMMALINE Emmaline (rhymes with clementine) is a 21-year-old singer and songwriter possessing a smoky, jazz-infused, genre-fluid voice admirable as much for the range of traditional sounds she draws upon, as for her startling freshness—fresh, as in new and innovative as well as in attitude and sly humor. Her songs are bold in statement and soft in feel, her flow supple and precise. She prides herself in being one who has listened with deep intention to her heroes—Anita O’Day and Billie Holiday, Erykah Badu and D’Angelo—and has already learned to rise above questions of category with a healthy sense of musical identity and forethought. “I consider myself a jazz singer,” Emmaline says. “I have been singing jazz my entire life—I studied it and I think that there is a place for me in the jazz world. Whether my music is strictly jazz I cannot say and in fact, would rather not. To me jazz is art, not a set of rules.” Emmaline Website: http://www.thegreyeagle.com/
