Bio
Singer-songwriter Emery Major weaves a musical tapestry of heartfelt stories and captivating melodies. Raised among the windswept peaks of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, he crafts a sound that blends the timeless storytelling of ’70s folk artists like John Denver and James Taylor with the melodic hooks of pop musicians like Jason Mraz and Noah Kahan. After honing his craft in the bustling music scene of Brooklyn, NY, Emery set his sights on Nashville, where he performs regularly at writers' rounds and honky-tonks across the city. His songs, characterized by deeply personal and thoughtful lyrics, reflect a seamless fusion of his Colorado roots and big-city experiences. His music is a testament to the places he’s called home and the people he’s met along the way.
​
Emery has performed at summer festivals and prestigious venues nationwide, including Carnegie Hall, Mercury Lounge, Birdland Jazz Club, The Bluebird Cafe, Connecticut Folk Fest, and The Wheeler Opera House. With his buttery voice, evocative lyrics, and a passion for sharing stories through song, Emery continues to leave an indelible mark on the hearts of his listeners.
