While some might suggest that EmiSunshine has arrived a number of decades too late, given the resurgence of old-time and bluegrass music – I would argue that she and her new album, Sideshow – has arrived right on time. At only 19 years of age, she has a lifetime of musical contributions ahead. And a decade’s worth of albums already behind her.
EmiSunshine is no newcomer to the scene. With 10 albums to her name, she has steadily risen through the ranks, proving her worth in a sometimes oversaturated music industry.
Typically performing with her family band and occasionally featuring guest players, the chemistry in her performances is perfectly seasoned. Many of her songs are co-written by Alisha Hamilton, EmiSunshine's mom, along with other renowned songwriters. The lyrical depth of Sideshow may seem mature for a teenager at times, but the strength and confidence in her voice carry the story as if she’s lived it herself.
EmiSunshine, a vocalist of the purest form, pulls inspiration from iconic figures such as Loretta Lynn and Tanya Tucker. She's a nostalgic nod to what some may refer to as the golden era of Appalachian infused country music – when legends like June Carter, Loretta Lynn, and Hank Williams roamed around leaving an enduring mark on music to come. Although she faces the mammoth challenge of filling some very large shoes, this talented woman, seems more than up to the task. EmiSunshine & her album Sideshow, is the proof in the puddin’.
