Album:Victorian America
Folk music fans are going to want to check out Emily Jane White. Basically, she sings, plays guitar and writes her own songs. On recent albums she is expanding her sound with strings and electronics. She was born in 1982 in San Francisco. She grew up in Fort Bragg where her father was a Merchant Marine. Her father taught Emily to play guitar and she started writing songs as a teen. While studying at UC-Santa Cruz, Emily was in a couple of bands and then led her own band Diamond Star Halos. She graduated with a degree in American Studies in 2003. Emily moved to France and started performing as a solo artist. She signed with the French label Talitres. She's probably their biggest selling artist. Talitres started as a distributor. But owner Sean Bouchard got into signing his own roster and handling their bookings. Emily started recording after she returned to San Francisco in 2006. Never Dead is from her 2009 album Victorian America. It was released in the US on the film music label Milan. Talitres now has a US distributor. Emily wrote and produced the album with recording engineer Wainwright Hewlett. He worked on three of her albums. This is available as a budget CD. On her recent albums including the 2022 album Alluvion, Emily is working with producer Anton Patzner of the band Foxtails Brigade. He composes film scores so he has been adding strings and synthesizers to Emily's music. Here's Emily Jane White performing Never Dead in a Paris laundromat Apr. 21, 2008. This guy has a YouTube channel and all his videos are made in the laundromat.
