Emily Hicks is a Utah-based Americana singer-songwriter whose soaring powerhouse vocals,
nature-infused lyrics, and quippy stage banter have captivated audiences far and wide. 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.
​
Born and raised in a small Midwestern town, Emily’s musical journey began as a classical pianist and music educator before she transitioned into life as a singer-songwriter. She made her official debut in 2021 with three singles produced by Grammy-nominated songwriter Monty Powell. Among them, Goodbye Indiana—an ode to her home state before heading west—quickly became a fan favorite and her most requested song to date.
Emily’s music is a heartfelt reflection of her experiences as a self-proclaimed "granola zillennial" blending folk, country, and pop influences into a sound that feels both timeless and fresh. Her songs invite listeners into her world with raw honesty and humor. 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.
