Emily Jeanne Brown’s music speaks to the crossing of thresholds: from childhood to adulthood, from west to east coast, from a pre- to a post-pandemic world.
A lifelong singer trained as a Shakespearean actor, Brown began her foray into recording during quarantine, with a minimal but visceral cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “i’m on fire”, which quickly garnered tens of thousands of streams.
Since then, she has released a string of original singles that are “a natural fit with the current movement of women in indie-folk pop [boygenius, Maggie Rogers, Fiona Apple, HAIM, Phoebe Bridgers, Sharon Van Etten or even Taylor Swift’s latest work]” (Aptly Journal), and is known for curating sold out, community-focused shows at New York venues such as Rockwood Music Hall and The Owl Music Parlor.
Emily recently released her debut EP, ‘Nina’, through YouTooCanWoo’s singer/songwriter imprint, Sunken Living Room, co-produced by Deidre Muro (Deidre and the Dark, Violet Sands, Savior Adore) and Eric Mendelsohn.
