Southerner by Heart, Midwestern by Choice: Emily White

Emily White

Emily White is Memphis-raised, but Chicagoan as adult, self-describing as Southerner by heart, Midwestern by choice. While Emily's voice and music are beautiful and compelling, her lyrics elevate her to the top ranks of performers, touching the deep places and raising it all to golden heights. Her newest album is called Songs You Didn't Know I Wrote About You, and that's likely the truth you'll experience in Emily's music.

Past/present religious/spiritual influences: Jesus, Evangelical Christian, Methodist, Baptist, Episcopal

Mark,

Thank you so much for having me on your show.  I had a wonderful time talking with you, and I hope some of the things we spoke about resonated for some of your listeners.  I appreciate your deep listening to my songs, and to all of the songs you interview artists about - that is a real gift to artists and to your listeners alike.  Many thanks, and I hope our paths cross again in the future!  -Emily
