Biography:

Emily White and her new album ‘The Resolution EP’ are independent music and DIY culture at its best. A self-described slow songwriter, Chicago’s Emily White set about to change things in 2010. Armed with her guitar, hundreds of ideas, and a strict monthly deadline, White began a yearlong songwriting challenge whose summer fruit is the diverse and compelling Resolution EP. Comprised of 6 songs, the album was recorded during four days of sessions in Madison, WI in June of 2010. Exactly one month from the date of the first session in the studio, Emily released the album in Chicago at Martyrs, a club whose stage has seen the likes of The Weepies. Jim Reed of Connect Savannah wrote of how White stands out from the “blue billion DIY singer/songwriters” with her “hushed, preternaturally haunting vocal delivery (and bewitching sense of indie-rock-informed melody).” Her voice and songwriting shine on the new album.
