Short Bio

With thoughtful lyrics and upbeat grooves, Emma Cook writes from the heart.

Her music marks a moment. Emma will draw you in singing about spice racks, motherhood, moon phases, climate change, growing older, and every feeling in between. A “formidable songwriter and instrumentalist”, Cook has a commanding and expressive vocal range and fans of Regina Spektor, Brandi Carlile, and Lake Street Dive will feel right at home [Seven Days VT].

With powerful presence, her vulnerability and humor onstage reflect her delightfully melancholy experience of being human. Performing since 2007, Emma continues to hone her craft, and open her heart. Currently in the studio working on her first solo album in over a decade, she’ll be back on the road touring the songs from Of the Morning with a band, sooner than later.

With powerful presence, her vulnerability, compassion, and humor onstage reflect her delightfully melancholy experience of being human. Emma grew up rooted in the Michigan folk and roots music community. She’s been surrounding herself with the legends of Motown, folk rock n’ rollers, and R&B and pop artists, since she was old enough to work a cassette player.

From 2013 - 2019 Emma played with folk-funk backing band Questionable Company on festival stages and dive bars throughout New England and the Midwest. The band was something special, “leveraging Emma’s incomparably smooth vocals to create something that sounds close to magic” [The Deli Magazine]. 

Emma continues to hone her craft and open her heart; she’s currently in the studio working on her first solo record in over a decade and she’ll be back on the road touring the songs from Of the Morning with a band, sooner than later.
