Who is Emily Hicks anyway?

Emily Hicks is a Utah-based Country/Americana singer-songwriter whose soaring powerhouse vocals, nature-infused lyrics, and quippy stage banter make for a live show that’s equal parts heartfelt and hilarious. With the release of her debut album, Weird Wild Wonderful, Emily’s music found its way to radio stations across the globe, breaking into the Top Folk Radio charts. Since then, she’s had the honor of opening for some of her musical heroes, including Tenille Townes, Daniel Rodriguez, and Sixpence None the Richer.

Side effects of listening may include (but are not limited to): an overwhelming urge to book a five-day backpacking trip through the Wasatch Mountains, the sudden realization that you need therapy immediately, and/or a newfound appreciation for canned wine.

"Weird Wild Wonderful is a delightful, thoughtful and enjoyable listen from beginning to end. Hicks can go from fun and entertaining, to solemn and earnest in the span of a few songs, and it's great to get such range in an album."
