JUNO nominated and 4 x Maple Blues Award Winner Miss Emily Live from Hugh's Room Doors at 7PM Performance at 8PM
$35.00 Advance $40.00 Door
In February 2020 at the Maple Blues Awards in Toronto, Miss Emily walked away with Female Vocalist of the Year, New Artist of the Year and the Sapphire Canadian Blues Music Video Award. This national recognition hearkened back to her early days of county fair singing competitions. In 1993, a then 12 year-old Emily Fennell was winning accolades not by emulating Whitney Houston or Celine Dion like her peers, but by channeling Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin, belting out song choices that belied her age. Those traditional influences would be the foundation of a career characterized by fearless honesty and a constant connection to the roots of popular music.
Along the way, she acquired an unparalleled work ethic by playing night after night in bars along Ontario’s 401 corridor while refining her songwriting and gaining a loyal following. This approach paid off as she grew her audience and advanced to theatre and festival appearances with performances at the Montreal Jazz Fest, Harvest Jazz and Blues, Ottawa Bluesfest, and Beaches Jazz Festival in Toronto. You’ll want to get your tickets now to join us Friday May 3.
296 Broadview is not yet a fully wheelchair accessible venue, with stairs between all levels. Our goal is to fix that, and we need your support to do so - please consider making a donation towards our goals to make HRL the best listening room in Toronto!
