Emma’s Kickstarter for Of the Morning is Live! Check out the Kickstarter Video and learn about her solo album HERE.

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

Her music marks a moment. She’s singing about spice racks, moon phases, and every feeling in between. A “formidable songwriter and instrumentalist”, Cook has a commanding and expressive vocal range and you’ll be reminded of of artists like Norah Jones, Regina Spektor, and Brandi Carlile [Seven Days VT].

With powerful presence, her vulnerability and humor onstage reflect her delightfully melancholy experience of being human. Performing original music since 2007, 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.

With thoughtful lyrics and upbeat grooves, Emma Cook writes from the heart. Her music marks a moment. She’s singing about spice racks, moon phases, and every feeling in between. A “formidable songwriter and instrumentalist”, Cook has a commanding and expressive vocal range and you’ll be reminded of of artists like Norah Jones, Regina Spektor, and Brandi Carlile [Seven Days VT].

With powerful presence, her vulnerability, compassion, and humor onstage reflect her delightfully melancholy experience of being human. Rooted in the folk tradition, growing up in Michigan she was listening to legends of Motown, the folk-rock artists of the 70’s, and the iconic R&B and pop artists of the 90’s since she was old enough to handle a portable 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]. 

Performing since 2007, 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.

Reviews

“[Emma Cook & Questionable' Company’s] newest single “You Know Why” is a jazzy folk track that leverages Emma’s incomparably smooth vocals to create something that sounds close to magic. “

— The Deli Magazine

"Cook's vocals largely define Questionable Company's lifting, expressive sound."

— Seven Days VT

"Helmed by vocalist and songwriter Emma Cook, Questionable Company melds folk and funk together into a sound bigger than you’d expect from a three piece. "

—The Matador Network

"[Emma Cook & Questionable Company’s] debut album is both surprising and pleasing...with a sound that is soulful and distinct — but familiar enough to satisfy the Burlington funk crowd — this trio's got a good thing going. “

— Seven Days VT

“Take It Home is a fun, breezy album for people who like uncomplicated pop rock. Cook is a formidable songwriter and instrumentalist and will likely continue to impress on future efforts.”

— Jordan Adams, Music Editor, Seven Days
