2nd - Emily Duff Band 11th St Bar NYC
Emily Duff's recent album release, Maybe in the Morning, is a brilliant piece of work that deserves your attention. From the Roots Music Report: "NYC may seem an atypical home base for a singer sporting such deep Dixie soul but it’s where one would find Emily Duff. The sass and spark that emanate from her vocals suggest a decidedly more southerly address. This syncs up well with her savvy at both imbuing the classic country “story song” format with a present-day intensity - 'Maybe In The Morning', or playing it old school- 'Daddy’s Drunk Again', 'Diamonds' and 'Listen To Mama”.'" Catch her live with her excellent combo while she's still playing smaller venues, eh? Showtime: 9 pm - 11 pm
