Cloudless Skies, Pretty Places


We kind of lost track of Brandi Emma since she split personalities on us and changed her name to Emma Burgess ("Emma" from her Mother, "Burgess" from her Father). Needless to say, we've been wanting to catch up with her for awhile so "by chance", we stumbled into Crane's the other night and "coincidentally" we caught her opening set and "just happened" to have our 20 Delta to shoot some photos.

There's a fine quality to her voice and songwriting that we can't quite describe but we have a feeling that Sam Phillips, Maria McKee, and Rickie Lee Jones records might have been scattered around her bedroom floor at one point. Whatever it is, we love it and will be an emotional wreck the next month as we wait for her new album Swim to hit stores. Be sure to catch any shows she's got lined up. We peeked at some tipsheets and she's on every one of them (what took you so long?). Listen to demo tracks of the album on her MySpace. They're fantastic.

Emma Burgess performs at the Hotel Cafe on 6/24.
