“Wilderness. The word itself is music." S.R Batterson points to this quote by the great outdoors writer Edward Abbey as a kind of compass for his songwriting. But, he also likes to say the reverse is just as true, "Music. The word itself is wilderness." His writing invites you on an expedition into the wild that we must go out to find, and that is inside all of us. His debut EP Firewood Burning — seven tracks recorded partly in nature and partly in the studio — was released in 2024. Like a river has currents at different depths, each moving at their own intensity, there are deep undercurrent influences like Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Tom Petty and Townes Van Zandt, riding beneath more immediate influences, like Jeffrey Foucault, Josh Ritter, Phosphorescent, Erik Koskinen, Pieta Brown and Caitlin Canty. All flowing together into a stream that's at once timeless and ever changing.
Emmy Woods (she/they) was born and raised on an old dirt road in rural North Dakota and currently resides in Saint Paul, MN. With hints of country, folk, and blues, Emmy’s songs showcase her knack for storytelling, her strengths in musical artistry, and her ethereal voice. Drawing on a range of influences including Billie Holiday, Emmylou Harris, & Against Me, Emmy has shared stages with such talents as Melissa Carper, Sarah Morris, Ryan Young of Trampled by Turtles, and Cam Whitcomb, to name a few. Emmy began writing at 13, however, her music remained unreleased and rarely performed until 2023, when she burst out of her living room and onto the Minnesota music scene with the release of 3 recorded collections. Undeniably prolific, she has since released several singles and an EP. Performing anywhere that’ll have her, from dive bars and markets to ballrooms and festivals, Woods continues to gain momentum with her witty & captivating repertoire, her disarmingly down to earth charm, and her genre-bending sound.
