EMILY JANE WHITE June 23


EMILY JANE WHITE

Emily Jane White's third full length Ode to Sentience was released June 12th in North America.  Ode to Sentience is her most realized work to date. Drawing upon finger-picked folk, traditional country, classical music and rock, White creates an expansive space for her intuitive lyrics and elegiac vocals. The spare skeletons of the songs on Ode to Sentience are fleshed out with subdued electric guitar thrums, diaphanous organ, ethereal pedal steel guitar, lush strings, and White’s dusky alto with its signature catch. Her indelible sound has earned White a devoted European following, prompting her to regularly tour France, Switzerland, Belgium, Poland, Austria and the Netherlands in recent years.

Paul Hubert...July 14

Hi, guitarist/singer/songwriter Paul Hubert here, born and raised in Germantown, NY, and graduated from Germantown Central School.  Many years were spent down along (and in) the mighty Hudson’s pristine waters. I’ve been hiding out in New Hampshire for the last 35 years, playing, teaching, and raising a family (2 grown children) with my wife, flautist, Kathi Sheer.
I play guitars (steel and nylon string acoustics, electrics, bottleneck slide), harmonica, ukulele, bass, mandolin, percussion, and love to sing.  I have appeared at folk fests with the Buskers, Bruce Molsky, the Dixie Dew Drops, Graig Werth, and David Francey.
Since 2006 I’ve been playing, singing and writing songs with the Buskers, an American roots music band based out of New Hampshire and upstate New York.  In that time we’ve released two albums:  “Ray’s Vacation”, and “Spank That Tambourine”.  We’ve opened shows for Maria Muldaur and John Gorka, and shared the stage with Will Scarlet and Frank Fotusko.
I’m still a member of, rock band, White Light, originally from North Germantown  (Northern Boulevard), New York, featuring, drummer Lowell Webber and, guitarist Marty Wintje, both G’town natives.  White Light has contributed two albums:  “Lucky Day”, and “Believe, Believe” to the collective vibrations.
While continuing to perform and record with the Buskers and White Light, I’m now offering solo shows focusing on original tunes and unique covers. My solo album, “Back to the Living Room” is available as a download at Wildcat Records, and will soon be available as a CD at Live shows.  I’m putting the finishing touches on a new, solo effort “Say It Out Loud”, to be available soon on Wildcat and at live appearances. I hope you find something you like.
I drive a Subaru Forester and am human to a small black and white cat named Emily.
