Emily Elbert CD Release Party with Rushad Eggleston and special guest Sam Barry

Emily Elbert is going places. Full of love, soul, and wanderlust, the 24-year-old has performed all over the U.S. and in 15 countries around the world, from Peru to Palestine, from Turkey to Thailand. Raised in Texas on a musical diet of Antonio Carlos Jobim, James Taylor, and ’60s radio, Emily first fell in love with guitar as a teenager. Electrified, she dove into writing, singing, performing, and recording, and set her sights on attending the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. She soon landed a coveted spot in the Gibson/Baldwin Grammy Foundation’s jazz ensemble. Known for her strong melodies, straight-to-the-heart vocals, and intricate guitar work,the recent Berklee graduate has played over 600 shows internationally, released three independent albums of original material, and won awards on both sides of the Atlantic.
