Emery Major Brings Colorado to Brooklyn!

Step inside the world of Colorado landscapes with Emery Major, who writes and performs music based in the folk, indie and pop genres. A Colorado native, Major is a folk singer-songwriter whose music is deeply thoughtful and aware of his environment. His songs are not just a feel; they are a location, deeply influenced by his upbringing in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado as well as his urban experiences in Nashville, Tennessee and Brooklyn. Over the years, he has defined his storytelling musical persona through performances at prestigious venues and folk festivals across his various homes. Major is known for his perfect blend of the old and new. His style is reminiscent of Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and James Taylor while also resembling the more modern singer-songwriter styles of Jason Mraz, Hunter Hayes, and Ed Sheeran. Relying heavily on the acoustic guitar to accompany his journey, the music and lyrics are tied together in a deeply impactful way, as Major’s soothing voice brings the listener through discussions of layered concepts such as existentialism, personal development, and love. The music production of each song incorporates white noise, three-part harmony, and folk acoustic guitar progressions and harmonics as he slowly engages the listener in passionate stories. In one such song, “It’s okay to be sad,” Major’s powerful dynamics in his voice builds the song to its climax, utilizing both the soothing and stronger aspects of his voice. Major knows who he is as an artist; he has even performed covers such as his latest release, Paramore’s “The Only Exception,” in which he challenges himself by putting a vulnerable, bluegrass spin on the popular record. Major’s career is just beginning, and listeners would be wise to join his promising journey.
