Elbert first fell in love with guitar when she was 14. She soon set her sights on Berklee College of
Music, and began performing and winning awards, including a coveted spot in the Gibson/Baldwin
Grammy Foundation’s jazz ensemble, the Dallas Morning News’ Rookie of the Year, and Texas’ 10
Under 20. Now 23 years old, Emily has played over 500 shows throughout the US and in 13
countries around the world, from Alaska to Memphis, Austin to New York City, and Peru to
Palestine.

Glamour Magazine recently selected Emily as one of the “Top Ten College Women” of 2010. Her
third album, “Alive, in Love”, was released in late 2011 and features Emily at her best, with strong
melodies, straight-to-the-heart vocals, and intricate guitar work. Fans from around the globe have
watched her YouTube videos in droves, including over 400,000 views of her version of Michael
Jackson’s “Thriller.” To learn more about Emily’s music, visit www.emilyelbert.com.
