Emily Mae Winters

US Americana songwriter.

"Fast rising star on the U.K. Alt- Americana/Country scene Emily Mae Winters has that rare quality in a singer that makes critics reach for the superlatives. Described as having a voice that stops you in your tracks and arresting, enthralling, tantalising by Folk Radio UK, Emily combines straight-to-the-heart bittersweetness with her own unique passion and drama in performance. Emily Mae Winters' exquisite songs which sit between the gentle seas of folk and country are influenced by artists including Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch and Sarah Jarosz. Emily's self-penned debut album Siren Serenade was produced by Ben Walker of BBC Folk Award winning Josienne Clarke and Ben Walker fame and Lauren Deakin Davies who's worked with the likes of Laura Marling and Peggy Seeger. Described as Vibrant and experimental by Songlines magazine, one of the record's standout tracks 'Anchor' won her the Guardian Songwriting Competition."
