EMILY WEST IN CONCERT:

From her days as a Nashville newcomer to her runner-up finish on the 2014 season of America’s Got Talent, country sweetheart Emily West has consistently knocked ‘em dead with her sultry voice and pitch-perfect performances. West named her 2015 full-length debut All For You, and she makes good on the album’s title in concert, leaving it all on the stage for fans with epic performances that showcase her powerful and dynamic voice. Performing original songs and covers of hits like Sia’s “Chandelier”, West exudes a mix of confidence and vulnerability, winning over audiences between songs with deeply personal stories about her journey. With her soulful voice, charismatic stage presence, and timeless style, West is a must-see for country and pop fans looking for a show-stopping concert experience

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Emily West, aka Emily Marie Nemmers, was born and raised in Iowa. She knew from early on she wanted to be a singer, and at age 13 her parents took her to a studio to cut her first demos. Soon after high school she moved to Nashville to pursue music full time. She made her debut on Capitol Nashville in 2007 with a self-titled EP, cracking the Top 40 on the country charts with her first single “Rocks in Your Shoes”. Her rise continued in 2010 when she collaborated with Keith Urban on the hit “Blue Sky”, which spent 13 weeks on the charts. In 2011 she self-released her sophomore EP I Hate You, I Love You, an acclaimed collection that expanded on her country palette and peaked at No. 7 on Billboard’s Folk Albums Charts. Despite her success West found herself without label support by 2014. Undeterred, she tried out for America’s Got Talent, eventually reaching the finals thanks to her impressive live performance chops. With thousands of new fans and a renewed sense of creative purpose following the show, West released her 2015 debut album All For You to a No. 2 spot on the Billboard Heatseekers chart, and she continues to burn bright on tour.

    Fantastic Show!

    by HRBanke on 3/28/16Birchmere - Alexandria

    Highly recommend seeing her in concert. She's unbelievably talented - her voice will blow you away. She's also open, honest and funny - zero pretense. It's incomprehensible that she is not a mega star.

    Was Emily West worth the wait?

    by beefyano on 3/28/16Birchmere - Alexandria

    This was the third or fourth time the show was rescheduled. We were not sure which Emily West we were going to see: Country Emily, chanteuse Emily, soft-rock Emily, power balladeer Emily? At one point in the show, Emily acknowledged wondering what type of artist she is or seeks to be. The first 4 or 5 songs left us wondering if we had made a mistake. Then, Emily introduced us to the song that put her in the public eye(in our opinion)-"Chandelier" written by Sia--the song she sang on that unnamed(?) TV show. The show that caused her to cancel the first date. I guess choosing to not name the show implies some things about the show did not sit well with her. On the other hand, we would have not been there were it not for the show and I would bet that went for many others in the audience. Oh, by the way, Emily, you were robbed! Should have won! Emily hit her stride. She was warm and inviting. She was powerful and gentle. Funny and seemed genuinely happy to be there. This was the artist we came hoping to see. We both felt the show ended too soon....but, honestly, she could have sung another 1/2 dozen or more songs and we still would have felt that the show ended too soon. SHE IS THAT GOOD! There are only a handful of artists on today's music scene that have the "pipes" to do what Emily West does and only Jane Olivor comes to mind as someone who sings with such openness and, I think, vulnerability. Would the addition of a stand-up base, soft percussion and an acoustic guitar or strings make her show less intimate? I doubt it. Might it give some songs more impact? I think so. Is she as good as country artists like Jennifer Nettles, Martina and Trish? Oh, yeah! Can she belt like Aguilara and Streisand? Most assuredly. Can she interpret the music of others the way Eva Cassidy did? I hope to find out. IS THIS A PERFORMER THAT NEEDS TO BE SEEN? WHAT DO YOU THINK?

    Emily West was Amazing, Beautiful, and Unforgettab

    by Eakcmc on 3/28/16Birchmere - Alexandria

    Emily West was Amazing, fantastic, unforgettable, and divine. We had seats right next to the stage. Emily West's big voice sounded even better in person than on her CD or when she was on AGT! She sang original songs, covers, and more. The whole time being backed by a wonderful piano player, the man who produced her album. After the show, Emily came out to hang with her fans. I was able to get a hug from her, talk with her, and get her to autograph my copy of her CD. All in all the Emily West concert in Alexandria, VA was one of the best concert experiences I've ever had.

    Emily West Was a Wonderful Entertaining Singer

    by Anonymous on 3/27/16Birchmere - Alexandria

    Wow, can she sing ! If you love timeless with a touch of old Hollywood glamour, she will not disappoint. We were amazed at how she could take any song, from any genre,as well as any time era and make it her own. A truly gifted and one of kind young lady. Not only was her voice such a joy to listen to, but she has such a delightful stage presence as well. Her pianist that accompanied her was amazing as well. Big talent and personality, yet humble and witty. She was an absolute delight ! Wow what a range. Emily could sing perfectly everything from Patsy Cline's "Crazy" to Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You," to "Sisters" from The Color Purple, with the voice of the original artist, yet it was genuinely her own.

    Emily West - She's Amazing!

    by g8rsig on 3/27/16Birchmere - Alexandria

    Love Emily West... especially at the Birchmere! Great venue for an intimate performance like her show. This was a rescheduled show, because of the DC Feb. blizzard, but she was well worth the wait. Love her candor and her genuine enjoyment of performing really comes across. She's going to be a BIG star one day.

    A Truly Beautiful Voice!

    by SBBu on 3/27/16Birchmere - Alexandria

    First, Emily West got ripped off on America's Got Talent! What an amazing voice, Emily West is a cross between Celine Dion and Faith Hill and prettier than both. Her voice can be powerfull but at the same time so soft and sweet. I saw her at The Birchmere in Alexandria, VA, and she was incredible! This is a voice and talent that deserves to be heard!!! Go see her if you get a chance!

    Wow. What an experience!!

    by DMarina on 3/27/16Birchmere - Alexandria

    I only discovered Emily West a few months ago when her CD was recommended to me on Amazon. I bought the CD and loved her voice so searched on Ticketmaster to see if she'd be touring in my area - she was, so I scooped up some tickets. I didn't expect to experience what I did during her show. She was charming, funny, down to earth, and she has a voice that puts many other artists to shame. I left that night wanting to see her again...SOON.
