Songstress, Punster, Folk Diva... Emilie has been called many things in her 20+ years of performing. Her songs encompass everything from anthems and historical docudramas to ballads of love and loss, and of course, the moon. Her entertaining, uplifting shows give people a smile and get them to sing along. From the grand stage at the Kerrville Folk Festival to the intimate confines of a house concert, Emilie envelops her audience in a warm musical hug.
Her energetic, eclectic shows have delighted audiences at festivals, coffeehouses, churches, clubs, and colleges and on radio and television. Her voice is clear and powerful and her songs draw on styles from blues to bluegrass, folk to rock to scat singing. Emilie's anthems have been performed in church services and therapy sessions. She loves to perform in collaboration with other songwriters, and with the storytelling community. Emilie has joined with the Twice Upon a Time Storytellers to create Moon Tunes and Tales, a program of her moon songs and their moon stories from around the world. In addition to her solo and duo performances (with longtime partner Wayne Green from 1977 to 1983) and her round robin shows with the Songwriters Showcase Tour, Emilie has opened shows for nationally known performers including: The Kingston Trio, John Sebastion, Roger McGuinn, Leo Kottke, David Bromberg, Robin and Linda Williams, Nanci Griffith, Lyle Lovett, Steven Fromnholz, Shake Russell, Tom Paxton, Odetta, Josh White Jr. and many others.
Emilie is a winner of the New Folk competition at the Kerrville Folk Festival, and a longtime festival performer in the 1980's and 1990's. She has four albums of her own original songs, and has also performed on many others as a harmony singer. In addition, her songs have been performed and recorded by other musicians including: Tania Opland, Caryl P. Weiss, Kirk Edens & LaDonna Goetz, Marsha Webb and Ruthstrom & Robertson. Her song "We're All Sailors Now" was printed in the Oct-Nov-Dec 1985 issue of Sing Out! Magazine.
