PRESENTED BY TOM MILLETT
Emer is a diverse and emerging singer/songwriter from Laois, in the Midlands of Ireland and she has just finished her debut album entitled 'Another Land'. Now preparing to launch it this summer, Emer will have a busy few months ahead while promoting her album and playing at various gigs and events.
With her music roots based in so many genres, including Irish and jazz/blues, she has been singing on stage since the age of five. Her style and sound has often been described as a merge between Eva Cassidy, Katie Melua and Sinead O Connor.
Emer has won many All Ireland titles, and a special award for her performance with the John Player Tops of the Town. From the age of eleven she performed on many stages around Europe at International Festivals with a song and dance troop. During this time she was also given the opportunity to sing for Dutch and Spanish Television
At 18 she began writing her own songs creating a style and sound all of her own. She embarked on a tour of the Osaka region of Japan. Singing and dancing to these large audiences for the tour was all the encouragement and persuasion she needed to develop her passion for music.
As well as having her own shows and gigs, Emer has performed as a special guest for Kila, Frankie Gavin, Freddie White, Sarah McQuaid and Dermot 'Blues' Byrne among others. She believes that every artist can bring something different and unique to the world of music and hopes you like her own style and sound.
