Emily Smith is a leading light of the contemporary Scottish folk scene. Her powerful, clear vocals have gained her award winning, worldwide recognition. As a songwriter Emily has been likened to ‘a Scottish Joni Mitchell’, but as a collector she is equally adept at presenting fresh and evocative interpretations of traditional songs.
She has worked with artists such as Richard Thompson, Beth Nielsen Chapman and Eddi Reader. Recent TV appearances include Transatlantic Sessions 4 and BBC Songs of Praise.
Emily returns to Lochside in 2011 as she launches her fourth album ‘Traiveller’s Joy,’ a stunning new album of songs written and gathered on the road featuring an international flavoured line up of guest musicians.
