One of the most exciting young musicians to come out of Western Canada, Emmett Jerome has established himself as a captivating performer with a world weary voice wise beyond his years. Rooted in the old school, troubadour tradition, he has traveled coast to coast, chasing songs and soaking up stories along the way. With a bluesman’s heart and a traveler’s soul, Emmett welcomes listeners into a world where tradition and youth collide.
Following his debut single, “Goodbye Trouble,” he shares “Willow Rose,” a new glimpse into his Rocky Mountain Son album, set for release later this year via 604 Records.
“I was headed back to Nashville from Glasgow, KY when I chanced upon a stranger in an old bar. She bought me a whiskey and we ended up talking the night away. Her name was Willow Rose and her melancholic, yet beautiful story moved me deeply; I wrote this song as a homage to her by the end of the night. More than just a portrait of one experience, this is a statement on the power of human connection, especially the bonds people make as they go through painful periods of their lives.” – Emmett Jerome
