Original show description below.
A singer and songwriter possessing a smoky, jazz-infused, genre-fluid voice” (Broadway World), Emmaline is very much an artist on the rise, yet her list of accomplishments at age 24 would be impressive for an established vocalist twice her age. She makes her San Francisco debut with guitarist Ryan Mondak.
The Nashville native possesses a powerful, mellifluous voice and masterful skill on violin matched to a decidedly retro aesthetic and a beguiling gift for composition. She has received coverage in Rolling Stone and American Songwriter, opened for the legendary Chaka Khan, collaborated with funk icon Bootsy Collins, and headlined clubs all over the U.S.
The daughter of jazz pianist Russ Campbell and singer Julie Campbell, Emmaline was exposed to the work of Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, and Anita O’Day from childhood, and though her love of old movies and vintage fashion has informed her personal style, she is a true artist for the 21st Century, accumulating over a half-million followers on social media for her homemade videos showcasing her songs.
Now based in Chicago, Emmaline has released three assured EPs that blend the jazz tradition with soul, pop, and R&B, and her newest, 2023’s Retro Kind of Love, is her most accomplished to date.
The rising young vocalist is “a singer and songwriter possessing a smoky, jazz-infused, genre-fluid voice.” (Broadway World)
