Emma Cook Trio

Folk-pop  artist Emma Cook has a glacially pure voice and years of life  experiences to write about. At the heart of it all she is a storyteller,  with music that plays between the lines of folk and chamber pop  influenced from her youth – listening to mixtapes that included Ani  Difranco, Tracy Chapman and Madonna.

Emma's 5th album Fight Left  In Me released on November 4th, 2021. Produced by Andrew Rasmussen  (touring keyboardist for the likes of Carly Rae Jepsen, Wake Owl, Twin  Bandit, Hannah Georgas, Hey Ocean) the album takes a deep dive into the  nooks & crannies, and under the radar experiences of (mostly) women  who are in the time of their life when their own personal identity is  often tangled up with those around them. With Emma’s trademark vocal and  harmony layering and gorgeously textured production, the album is her  most extrospective so far, bringing the stories of those around her to  life with an aching honesty.

The road to this new album was  definitely not linear. In 2013 she was forced to take a 3-year hiatus  from music following a bad head injury. In 2018 she came back strong  with the album Living Proof distilling her hardships into a collection  of stirring and deeply earnest pop balladry. The album landed her in the  finals of the CBC Searchlight competition and a headlining show at the  National Arts Centre in Ottawa. She was chosen to represent Canada on a  musical trade mission in South America in 2019, with official showcases  at SIM Sao Paolo and Fluviale Festivals.

Emma has logged 100’s of  shows across Canada, the US and the UK, including showcases at NXNE,  SXSW, CMW and Indie Week. Her four full length releases have garnered  fantastic reviews and sought the attention of CBC Radio and SiriusXM The  Verge.
