WIN TICKETS TO CATCH EMMY THE GREAT LIVE!!!

Emmy The Great may not be a new name to some, for singer songwriter Emma Lee-Moss has been reducing rowdy crowds to an awed silence for some time, releasing her debut single in April 2006.

DETAILS ON THE COMPETITION TO WIN TICKETS TO CATCH EMMY THE GREAT BELOW!

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Emmy was born in Hong Kong, but long based in London. This singer-songwriter has collaborated with Lightspeed Champion and Norman Cook and has toured with the likes of Martha Wainwright, Bright Eyes and Tilly and The Wall.

Perhaps her admirable stubbornness stems from growing up as the only Western kid in a Chinese school in Hong Kong; taking the train to Tower Records to buy up the only non-Chinese music they had – Weezer, Smashing Pumpkins and The Lemonheads.

An outsider’s resilience that would help see off the conformist overtures of label bosses and managers, proposed collaborations with hit-factory songwriters, and insightful appeals to ‘put a few more choruses in’.

Initially, Emmy started out playing solo acoustic shows, being invited to tour with the likes of Martha Wainwright, Bright Eyes and Tilly and The Wall, but since the release of the single ‘Gabriel’ in November 2007, Emmy The Great has developed from solo venture to full collaborative ensemble.

Now a band formed around a core of Emmy, guitarist Euan Hinshelwood , and pianist Tom Rogerson.  “Emmy The Great is now a project that we all contribute to. The three of us come together as equals.”  Filled with this fresh confidence, Emmy decided she had to make an album immediately, “Otherwise I was going to explode and kill everyone.”
