Singer-songwriter EmiSunshine is thrilled to reveal her latest project – the bluegrass album “Sideshow”, releasing October 6 via Little Blackbird Records. This 13-track collection pays tribute to the Appalachian sounds that shaped her childhood in East Tennessee.
Longtime fans will enjoy Emi’s fresh take on early originals like “Carry Me Home”, “Little Black Bird”, and “White Dress”. She also penned new compositions inspired by the colorful characters and stories of old-time mountain music.
The title track “Sideshow” embraces human diversity and individuality. Emi says witnessing bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley at MerleFest made a huge impact during her formative years.
Collaborators on “Sideshow” include Emi’s band The Rain, Cruz Contreras, Wyatt Ellis, Justin Moses, and Addie Levy. Her mother Alisha Hamilton was instrumental in shaping the album’s concept and feel.
