Live show by Emmy Woods, who blends country, folk and blues into story-rich songs, at Carbone's Minneapolis.
Emmy Woods plays Carbone's Minneapolis on Saturday, October 24. It's a single-bill night, so she's the only name on the marquee.
Her sound pulls from country, folk, and blues, and she describes her songs as story-rich, with the songwriting and musical craft taking center stage. That airy, expressive voice of hers carries the melodies, and the blend of those three genres—country, folk, and blues—is where she spends most of her time. It's the kind of set that works just as well if you're there for the lyrics as it does if you're there for the playing.
Her influences run wide, and you can hear them in the way she puts a song together. She cites Billie Holiday and Emmylou Harris alongside Against Me, which puts her somewhere between old-school jazz, classic country, and the more pointed edge of punk. She's also shared stages with Melissa Carper, Sarah Morris, Ryan Young of Trampled by Turtles, and Cam Whitcomb, so she's well-acquainted with the folk and roots scene around here.
