Folk - Americana

Short Bio

Emma Cook has been looking out. With her upcoming album, Of the Morning, Emma turns inward to share some of her rawest songs yet, chronicling her time turning thirty a month into the global pandemic, and becoming a mother. She’s singing about forbidden fruit and moon phases and the climate crisis, and unveiling every feeling in between. And yet with thoughtful lyrics and upbeat grooves, her commanding and expressive vocal range soothes. A “formidable songwriter and instrumentalist” coming from a long line of musicians and performers; Emma’s sound effortlessly blends the folk, Americana, jazz, and soulful pop music that raised her, into something that is uniquely her own.

From 2013 - 2019 Emma played with folk-funk backing band Questionable Company on festival stages and at dive bars throughout New England and the Midwest. The band was something special, and “leveraged Emma’s incomparably smooth vocals to create something that sounds close to magic” [The Deli Magazine]. 

Emma continues to hone her craft and open her heart. Of the Morning, her first solo effort since 2011, will be released in October 2025.
