There is no question, Emily Elbert is the most talented singer-songwriter I have heard since I began working at TexasGigs. At only 17 years old, Emily already has all the tools that a great songwriter needs - an extraordinary voice, sharp lyrics, rhythmic sensibility, and an intuitive understanding for how these tools work together musically. Yet, what strikes me most when I listen to her music is how Emily is able to let her spirit shine through every note and every word.
It was a real pleasure to sit down with Emily for an interview late last week. In the interview, we discussed:
-How Emily's family influenced her path into music
-When she first started performing music
-How she began writing and singing
-The music that has influenced her
-Her study of music at UNT and Berklee
-Her album Bright Side
-Her goals for the future
