Emily Herring
Emily Herring has been playing and performing music for most of her life. She released her first full-length CD, My Tears Will Be Relieved, in April of 2006. Emily's brand new EP: The Cat, Beaver, Bee has caught national radio play since it's release in May, 2007. Her single, "Has Country Gone to Hell?" has spent 20 weeks in the top ten, including two weeks at #1, on Neil Young's Songs of the Times website. Another single of hers, "Doc Bronner" was also featured on Shut Eye Records' The United States of America vol. 4. In recent years, Emily's had the pleasure of performing at several music conferences and festivals, including the Midpoint Music Festival, and Folk Alliance.
Throughout the decades, Texas music has offered a healthy, homespun alternative to the overproduced, under-nurtured "popular music" machine. Emily's music is no exception to the rule. The Cat, Beaver, Bee is an unapologetic, and truly Texas Country record with a healthy dose of Delta Blues. Whether she's moaning out the blues, or belting out criticism for our National politics and Music Row, one thing is certain... Emily Herring will keep you listening.
Also, in her spare time, Emily has been a volunteer at the Rock and Roll Camp for Girls. Check out the site if you get a chance: http://girlsrockcamp.org/

"Herring is an original voice doing extraordinary things in the simplest terms... A big plate of Texas Country with a side of Delta Blues" -City Beat, Cincinnati
