EMILY KURN MUSIC
Although currently residing in Alaska, Emily Kurn remains in the loop of contemporary singer-songwriters…..(she) knows how to get the most from her voice, and is an original, engaging writer. --Rich Warren, SING OUT! MAGAZINE
Kurn is one of the exciting voices of folk music. Her idiosyncratic Iris Dement-like voice combined with a simple "around the table conversation" style of songwriting brings an edge that is frequently lacking with much modern folk. Kurn's stories revolve around the kinds of events we all experience everyday. Her writing frequently results in an, "oh, yeah, that is exactly how I feel at that moment," experience by the listener. When the first song starts it is clear Emily Kurn is on to something special. -- Jeff Weiss, MILES OF MUSIC
