We had a 50th house party for my husband and Emma came to sing and play the guitar. She was spectacular! We could’ve listened to her sing all night long because her voice is absolutely beautiful. She’s able to entertain and get the whole crowd going and also will play the guitar for guests to sing if they want. She was fabulous- easy to work with and extremely accommodating! We would definitely have her back again!
Emma is an extremely talented singer/songwriter /guitarist and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She delivered a perfect 30 min private concert for my wife on her birthday at Central Park’s Bethesda fountain. She kept a conversation going between songs and weaved aspects she learnt about my wife into some of the numbers, which was beautiful and made for a super special birthday!
Response from Indie Jukebox:
You two are such a lovely couple! I'll sing for you anytime :)
Emma was perfect for the surprise party I threw for my wife. I told Emma ahead of time the types of music to sing/play (90s alternative, contemporary alternative, our wedding song, etc.) and she rocked it. I received a lot of feedback from the guests as to how much they enjoyed Emma and I couldn't have been happier with her. I knew she was tired from a long day of traveling but you would have never have known it; she played continuously for 2.5hrs+.
Response from Indie Jukebox:
Loved your taste in music and would gladly do another event!

Emma was so professional throughout the planning process. My wife and I were coming all the way from ireland and Emma played our wedding song for us at the Rockefeller Centre as a surprise for my wife. Needless to say she sung amazingly and my wife was blown away by it all. Thanks again!!!
Response from Indie Jukebox:
Congrats on an amazing surprise! Happy I could help make the day special.

Emma Jude is a Brooklyn based singer/songwriter with a repertoire of over 500 covers and originals throughout all genres. Emma draws upon the beautiful songwriting styles of Sarah Bareilles, the remarkable sounds of Joni Mitchell and the edginess of Janis Joplin. Over the years, Emma has found the perfect song for just about any person at any given time but feels most at home in her indie-rock sound.
She released her first official EP "The One Person Game" at the end of 2015. Her album "Pocket Full Of Postcards" was released at the beginning of 2018. She also released a Christmas album in 2019 and is ready to put out her new music in the spring of 2021.
Emma worked as a guitar soloist for Carnival Cruise Lines for four years playing a mix of soulful originals and a wide span of covers. Whether it's rock, pop, country or folk, Emma puts her own unique acoustic spin on each of her songs. During this time, Emma also created a signature kids show which she performed on multiple ships. She was ranked as one of Carnivals top musicians and was selected for the inaugural season on the Carnival Horizon in 2018.
She won the Syracuse Area Music Award (SAMMY) for best pop album in 2019 and then went on to perform that award winning album at the 2020 Syracuse Area Music Awards with the band Late Earth backing her. During that time, she also released her second official music video with Dennis Fernando for her song "Old Tattoos."
Currently, Emma Jude is based out of Brooklyn, New York. Pre-covid, she performed regularly throughout New York at bars, festivals, private parties and opens for stars like Kip Winger in addition to touring the colleges across the country. Emma Jude is most well known for her intimate listening room style shows and private parties.
Throughout the pandemic, Emma leaned into her educational background and created an online music curriculum for Beansprouts Nursery School. She then partnered with New York City's most popular children's music booker, "Jam with Jamie," and began working on their preschool homeschool program in addition to private music classes. She has begun taking her signature kids show to some of New York City's most prominent children's birthday parties.
Emma has been fully vaccinated since February 2021, and as the world begins to open back up, she is slowly stepping back into the spotlight.
