Thirsty Thursday: Emily White TONIGHT
We're very excited to have Emily White kick off her fall tour tonight at Stumpjack. Emily is coming up from Chicago with Tyler Lyle to perform at the Stump around 7pm.
Born and brought up in Memphis, Tennessee on a healthy diet of Keith Sykes' Songwriters' Nights, Emily White learned the appeal of acoustic music early. She seems to have a love of the genre embedded in her DNA somewhere, and while growing up she took as much of an interest studying the singer-songwriters and blues musicians playing in the parks on Beale Street as she did listening to New Kids on the Block and MC Hammer. It was on that legendary street that Emily learned the intimacy and personal connection between artist and listener that acoustic music can create. It wasn't long before Emily knew she wanted to create the same connections by writing original music. Check out more of Emily at http://www.emily-white.com/
