Emily Triggs

Following Emily’s widely accepted release ‘When Guinevere Went Under’, Triggs is busting down walls that confine an artist to expectations with her sophomore album ‘Middletown’. Triggs has truly come into her own stepping out as a solo artist and has embraced the spotlight including performances at Vancouver and Calgary Folk Music Festivals. Possessing an instrument evocative of folk artists from the ‘60s and ‘70s, Triggs’ alto is bright and clear with a comforting classic and contemporary in equal measure; classic surely as a result of her folk family, contemporary due to surrounding herself with some of the countries best musical collaborators. The youngest of five growing up in a mix of English and French culture, it was in living room jam sessions with local and visiting musicians that Emily learned the history and art of lyrical composition and performance.

In true fashion, Middletown will not let listeners down as Emily continues to push boundaries of the folk/roots genre with influences spanning from Texas blues to her years in French Canada. Emily shares stories through songs with an endearing simplicity that belies their emotional depth.
