A singer and songwriter possessing a smoky, jazz-infused, genre-fluid voice” (Broadway World), Emmaline is very much an artist on the rise, yet her list of accomplishments at age 24 would be impressive for an established vocalist twice her age. She makes her San Francisco debut with guitarist Ryan Mondak.

The Nashville native possesses a powerful, mellifluous voice and masterful skill on violin matched to a decidedly retro aesthetic and a beguiling gift for composition. She has received coverage in Rolling Stone and American Songwriter, opened for the legendary Chaka Khan, collaborated with funk icon Bootsy Collins, and headlined clubs all over the U.S.
