EMILY ANGELL CHRISTMAS EVE-EVE AT McGIRK’S

Hailing from the Southern Tier, folk-pop singer/songwriter/producer Emily Angell is redefining a woman’s role in the music business, grassroots style. She can be seen all over the state singing, strumming and wailing on the harmonica; fans describe her as Alanis Morisette meets Christina Aguilera. This past October, Emily released "I Got This", the debut single to her upcoming Folk/Pop/Electronic EP: the sonic landscape of this track has 'Top 40 Folktronic' written all over it. Drawing from the likes of James Taylor and the Beatles and combining that with sounds of fresh artists like Kiiara and Starley, Emily is carving out the new path of pop music. In an industry where popular music can often feel inauthentic, Emily stands out not only with her progressive, motivational, and emotionally-connected lyrical content but with a naturally versatile set of vocal chords and a knowledge of both sides of the recording studio. Her debut self-released EP The Upset (2011) received aplomb for its daring, acoustic approach, landing her heralding reviews from Women of Substance Radio and AllMusic.com. Emily’s sophomore EP Let Go (2015) exhibited her progressive folk-pop/rock style and secured her spots opening for well-known names in Alternative Radio like American Authors and Dreamers. Emily Angell aims to set the bar for independent artists, popular music and female producers. By being connected emotionally, morally and socially, Emily believes the empathy that music fosters will change the world.

Emily Angell will be performing at McGirk’s Irish Pub (1 Kattelville Road, Binghamton) on Saturday, December 23 at 9pm. Admission is free. More info at emilyangellmusic.com.
