It's actually a surprise when you meet an Emma and their middle name ISN'T Louise. Hell, it's my middle name too. That said, there isn't anything common about the Emma Louise I'm talking about, you know, the Brisbane singer/songwriter making waves all over the country?
This little wonder has been a bit like her moniker of late; very very popular. She has toured with Washington, just finished up gigging with Boy and Bear and has been announced as the support for Josh Pyke's national tour AND Bigsound Live. With a schedule this busy, you should consider yourself lucky that this charmer is back in town for her own headline show! I'd say she sounds a bit like Sarah Blasko, but really, she's in a league of her own. Her debut EP Full Hearts and Empty Rooms has been garnering some very respectable reviews, as are her recent support shows; people are getting in early to see her, and not just because they want to get a prime position for the headliner.
With all this love for my namesake, I have faith that Emma Louises can be more than just a fumbled response at the hospital... we are pretty unique. See one of the best Emmy Lou's out there this Saturday at the Visy Theatre, and make your appreciation for our species known!
