Emily Fenton

Emily Fenton (she/her) is an artist from Little Rock, Arkansas with roots in Ithaca and New York City. Her music absorbs the raw honesty of folk, charming melodies of country, and irreverent attitude of rock ‘n’ roll to create a sound as unique and personal as the message they carry. Fenton’s autobiographical songwriting and vocal style evoke a nostalgia reminiscent of 90s Lilith Fair.

An affinity for cut-to-the-chase lyrics and a fascination for psychedelic concept albums led to the creation of her first full-length album, Hello, from Planet Earth. The album was recorded live at the White Water Tavern in Little Rock, Arkansas in the summer of 2022.

"Fenton sings in a vibrato-prone alto that’s so captivatingly strange and lovely that she encompasses joy and longing at the same time. Her melodies and phrasing have a charming impulsiveness and whimsy that foster intimacy for the listener, making them feel close to Fenton, invited into her creative process as she decides down what path she’s going to toss her vocal cords." - Daniel Grear, Arkansas Times
