Hooray for the New Year!

 

Hello all!

I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday!  I truly enjoyed mine but am now (like many others, I'm sure) happy to begin a brand new year.  So, I wanted to wish you and your loved ones a prosperous, music-filled and delightful 2009! 

 

My music videos are up on YouTube!  Visit my page (http://youtube.com/iamemmamusic) and make kind comments and high ratings!  While you're there, check out Vespersaw's channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/vespersaw); she has posted several fan videos.  If you're a YouTube account holder, you can even subscribe to the channel and be alerted the instant a new video is posted.  Whew!

 

I'd love more friends!  If you are a MySpacer or Facebooker, be sure to look me up and, if you invite me as a friend, I promise I will cordially and graciously accept.   

 

Lastly (but not leastly, of course) I want to extend my appreciation to you for your support throughout 2008!  The only way that I am able to thrive as an indie musician is by your word of mouth, by you buying cds to give to friends and by your attendance at my shows through the year.  

 

Thank you tons and tons!

 

 

 

Happy Holidays! CDs, Gigs and Good Wishes...

I hope you are all having the best December of your lives (so far)! I am grateful that we aren't charged for exclamation point usage and you will be glad (for my sake) once you finish this email!

I have two holiday-rific shows this week! I'm sorry to be sending out the info so close to the days but I was waiting on the final info (which I actually haven't gotten yet...).
The first show is Thursday, December 13 at Virgin Megastore (1494 E Buena Vista Dr., Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830). That's the one for which I'm waiting on the time. I'll definitely update it on my website as soon as I find out so if you can come, please check for the time at http://www.iamemma.com/news. I'll hopefully know on Monday; I'm pretty sure it's early evening.

The second show is Friday, December 14 at Infusion Tea at 7:30 p.m. (1600 Edgewater Dr., Orlando, FL 32803). It's such a splendid venue and the tea is cozy so it's a great way to reeeeelax before the holiday craziness.

I really truly hope to see you at one of these shows! Great things would come of them going well so your support would be sincerely appreciated (as always)!

Also, I am still doing the holiday special- buy two CDs from my website, get a third one for free! If you want to get them by Christmas, it's probably best to order them soon.

And... I'm continuing to plan my tour for next year so if any of you haven't suggested a venue (and a warm thank you to those who have), I'd love to have some suggestions for performance spaces in your area!

Upon rereading this posting, it's also a good thing that they don't charge for parentheses (for my sake. Unless it's like text messages where you're also charged for receiving them. In which case, for your sake as well!).

Turkey Doesn't Make You Sleepy... And Other Seasonal Info

I read that the tryptophan in turkey isn't really what makes you sleepy after a Thanksgiving feast; it's the excess amounts of carbs you tuck away. Interesting, no?


In other news, I'm having a special Christmas deal on my CD - buy two to give away and I'll give you one from me for free! So, no more searching for that perfect, elusive gift - it's at your fingertips at www.iamemma.com.


Also, on my iLike page (http://apps.facebook.com/ilike/artist/Emma), I've uploaded a free Christmas song! If you want it for you, just email me and I'll be happy to send it out.


I've added some stuff to my blog including some of your wonderfully nice reviews! Keep an eye out to see if yours pops up sometime...


Hope you and your family have a Thanksgiving filled with delicious carbs and even more delicious conversations.

Ah... Autumn!

And along with the lovely red leaves (which we don't really get in Florida) and the blustery winds (which are probably too warm to be considered "blustery"), we (well, I, at least) have the desire to feel cozy! And what better way to feel cozy than with a toasty Scotch and soda in your hand! All ye who love late nights and potent brew, I ask to come and listen to me at the Central Station Bar (100 E Central Blvd Orlando, FL 32801) on Thursday, October 25 at 11 p.m. "11 p.m.?!" I hear you exclaim! Yes, indeed, 11 p.m. And a $5 cover. But the proceeds of both attendance and applause benefit the musician so it's a good cause.
I'd really love to see you all there!

In other news, I've been reviewed on two blogs! Both www.musicbyday.com and www.lovethemusicreviews.com have written very cordial reviews. So, you should all read them! And I would truly appreciate those of you who are generous enough to download my CD from iTunes to write a nice review on that as well! Truly, I would. But, remember that you can still buy my CD from www.iamemma.com or from Park Ave. CDs- the store.

I look forward to seeing you all on Thursday, October 25 at 11 p.m.! Happy Autumn!
