Emma Cook writes from the heart, and is finding her way toward yours.
Her music marks a moment. Emma will draw you in, singing about spice racks, the moon, and every feeling in between. A “formidable songwriter and instrumentalist”, Cook has a commanding and expressive vocal range (Seven Days VT). With powerful presence, her vulnerability and humor onstage reflect her delightfully melancholy experience of being human.
Her roots are in folk music, and you'll hear influence from a wide variety of folk, pop, and classic rock artistsin her songwriting. From 2013 - 2019 Emma played with folk-funk backing band Questionable Company throughout New England and the Midwest. The band “[leveraged] Emma’s incomparably smooth vocals to create something that sounds close to magic“ (The Deli Magazine).
Songwriting and performing since the age of 17, Emma is currently in the studio working on a solo album - her first solo project in over a decade.
Since 2018, in addition to writing and touring, Emma has worked with kids offering private piano lessons, performing for kids, and leading classes of music & movement for the under 5 crowd in her community.
In 2021 and 2022 Emma released five singles from her home studio; four songs for kids, and Meet My Maker. MMM was produced in collaboration with her husband-drummer Andy Feltus, Northern Michigan musician and studio engineer Patrick Niemisto.
When not making music you’ll find Emma, with her family, in the garden, on the water, practicing yoga, riding bikes, and with friends. Born and raised in Michigan, Emma calls Vermont home.
