Biography
Emily Lynch is a young singer-songwriter hailing from Atlanta, Georgia with more than just a pretty face. She sings with experience, humility, and a sweet vintage voice that truly sets her apart. Her voice has been compared to that of Alison Krauss, Patty Griffin, and Emmylou Harris. She is a proficient guitarist and songwriter with an undeniably endearing and engaging presence and a heart full of songs that captivate her audiences.
After a brief stint as an intern with OMG Entertainment, in Greenville, SC, Emily was introduced to producer, Dan Hannon (Manchester Orchestra, A Rocket To The Moon, Aaron Shust), in May of 2008. Hannon’s initial impression was very favorable, and he agreed to help Emily develop her style and ‘find her voice’ as an artist. In the ensuing months, Emily wrote and demoed an astonishing 80 songs. “It’s rare to find an artist as dedicated and as driven as Emily”, says Hannon. “There are plenty of artists who expect to show up and have a career delivered to them on a silver platter”. Emily has greatly enjoyed and benefited from working alongside Hannon. "Dan is the one who pushes me to be the best–always raising the standard. He keeps me focused on the important things, even when it's difficult, and I've grown to appreciate and respect him for it. We make a good team and I am a better artist because of his influence" , says Lynch.
Emily’s much-anticipated self-titled debut album has been recorded, mixed, and mastered, and is slated for a February 15, 2011 release on the newly formed Eldest Only Recordings label.
Balancing her life on the road, Emily co-writes frequently across the States, including collaborations with some of the best and brightest writers in Atlanta, Nashville, and Charleston. Always writing and creating new melodies, Emily has penned over 60 new songs since she finished her debut. Lynch muses that “that kind of discipline is the least I can do, if I’m trying to follow in the footsteps of the greats—Emmy Lou Harris, Loretta Lynn, Patty Griffin, and Alison Krauss”.
