Her first ever show in LA. Our first time to the charming and intimate Sam First’s Bar. Arrived early for the first set. Emily was working out the details with her pianist and then came over to greet us and chat. Such radiant energy and a kind soul. She played with her trio of bandmates giving each their moments to shine. Her voice was strong and vibrant and she enlisted tracks from both of her albums and added a Whitney Houston medley arrangement that was fun and engaging. The hour-long set went quickly but she was a treat to see in LA.
