Emmy Ryan writes folk music for today’s times. Distinctive yet familiar, Emmy’s songwriting pulls no punches in exploring colonisation, climate change, capitalism, and love in its many forms. While she inhabits the folk country space with ease, she also drifts seamlessly into jazz and soul territory, weaving her training in jazz through the fabric of traditional and contemporary folk music to create protest songs that swing, roots tunes that groove, and country ballads that soothe.
