Emily Fraser Music Emily Fraser Cambridge Emily Fraser is a singer/songwriter from Cambridge who began her journey at the age of 15 putting the poetry of a friend to her self-taught guitar and naive vocals, feeling the urge to share her voice with others she immediately began gigging at multiple venues around the region. From 2009 Emily has played alongside Shallow Falls (formerly The Emily Fraser Band) which gave her the chance to experiment with her material within a larger, more soulful and funky sound which has subsequently crept into her work. She plays in a bluesy soulful style with a rhythmic folk edge There is a phenomenal range and agility in her voice, from a rich and sensuous earthiness sung with sultry determination. To the resonating and hauntingly ethereal accompanied by supple bird-like trills, which has the ability to completely transfix, leaving the audience silent, hairs standing on end. Emily's writing is deeply personal. Singing the tidings of lover, daughter and sister, her lyrics form direct and personal messages chronicling a moment. The candour of her lyrics reveal a wistful astuteness, exploring the struggle to reconcile her thoughts and feelings with her actions. She sings with a stirring reflective melancholy that lays bare a guileless vulnerability in word as well as voice. The mesmerising rise and fall of her voice has the power to pull you through an array of emotions embracing you in a personal cathartic experience. Emily has played alongside Ed Sheeran and supported Alabama 3 Emily has released two single with Shallow Falls on iTunes “Light this Room” 2010 and “Sympathy” 2011. 2011 saw Emily perform at The Secret Garden Party with Shallow Falls using the opportunity to promote a solo specially recorded self produced EP “Just for You: The Secret Garden EP 2011”
