Emi Night
Emi Night is a songwriter from the Ohio River Valley. She discovered her passion for singing and writing music at a young age, making up songs and harmonizing to music on the radio with her dad on long drives. Emi took up the guitar when she was seven and her second-grade teacher taught her to strum along to folk songs, traditionals, and church hymns in Madison, Indiana. Songwriting guided Emi through her teenage years, touring on the Midwest and East Coast DIY/Indie circuit as a band leader. Her music later led her to Denver, CO where her band Strawberry Runners came to life, headlining local venues and opening for bands like Mitski, Hop Along, The Fruit Bats, The Felice Brothers, Lvl Up, The Sidekicks, Nathaniel Rateliff, and The Lumineers.
