The Emily Margaret Band merges R&B and jazz into an evocative journey inspired by Hiatus Kaiyote, Amy Winehouse, and Lianne La Havas. This dynamic teen quartet features vocalist and guitarist Emily Margaret, whose expressive delivery and introspective lyrics deeply resonate with listeners; Adam Acker on keys, who brings intricate textures and emotive melodies; Lewis Wells on bass, who anchors their sound with a natural groove and intuitive feel; and drummer Lucas Majer, who infuses their rhythms with a sophisticated blend of dynamics and precision. Together, the quartet crafts intricate melodies and infectious grooves, blending original compositions exploring human experiences with soulful renditions of classics by Amy Winehouse, Stevie Wonder, Norah Jones, and Bill Withers.
