It is no wonder Emily Kurn is turning heads wherever she goes. With a bachelor's degree in Theater Arts and 20 years of performance experience ranging from classical ballet and voice, to piano and musical theater, Emily Kurn is undeniably at home onstage.
A songwriter and wordsmith since she was very small, Emily began a solo music career in 1997 when she was a student at UC Santa Cruz. She recorded her debut self-titled record shortly thereafter, and went on to record two more albums in the next three years. She transferred from UC Santa Cruz to Brandeis University (Boston, MA) in 2000, where she performed in the Club Passim New Faces Showcase. In 2003, she released "Whitebird" which has been praised by publications including SingOut! Magazine and Performer Magazine. Four of it's tracks were nominated for Just Plain Folks Awards, and one track received a Best Song Award from the Northern California Songwriter's Association.
Since her relocation from the San Francisco Bay Area to Anchorage, Alaska five years ago, Emily has piled up a long list of songwriting awards. As sparkling and engaging in her writing as she is onstage, Kurn's new release, "Things Change," which was recorded at the Signature Sounds Studio, has charted seven consecutive months on the FOLK-DJ Charts. In July, it charted at #6, a spot usually held by artists on a major record label. In December of 2007, her single "Light the Lamp" charted at #2. She has also charted on the Freeform Americana Charts and Roots charts..
