Emily Smith

Studio Session

Emily is recognised not only as one of Scotland’s finest interpreters of traditional song but also as a talented songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. She draws on local history and landscape for inspiration, collecting old poetry and song books in search of new material. The results are reworked ballads which seamlessly interweave with her own songs. She has also written, recorded and toured with artists including Eddi Reader, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Karine Polwart and John McCusker. Emily’s star is definitely in the ascendant.
