(Short) Bio

With thoughtful lyrics and upbeat grooves, Emma Cook writes from the heart and is finding her way to yours. Writing and performing with guitar and piano, you could call Emma’s sound folky jazz pop.

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 [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; she’s currently in the studio working on her first solo record in over a decade.
