About this event

Music / Country / Country. Starts 8:00 PM. Since his 2019 debut, Emerson has made his contemporary mark on the tradition of American songwriting. His newest and fourth full-length album, Blue Stars, with longtime label La Honda Records, visits all of the influences and moods of his previous release.

Lyrically, these songs are rooted in his upbringing in East Texas, life on the road, and his deep family ties to Louisiana - three landscapes that continue to shape his perspective and inform his writing. "I was definitely thinking a lot about my childhood in Texas and the trips to Louisiana to visit my mother's family there. A lot of the music I love comes from those areas, and I
