Biography

Combining elements of vintage Jazz, homespun Scottish Folk, and earthy Blues, Emma Morton & the Graces transcend these to become an emotionally engaging act that is truly unique and very hard to pigeon-hole - Emma’s songwriting focuses on social and political themes like immigration, sex, depression +  gender. It is in the live arena that this trio really come into their own. Their performances project a sincerity and passion that is highly infectious, time and again winning over new audiences at very show.  “…An incredibly refined singer-songwriter who catapults the listener into a celestial yet tangible sonic journey of conflict… all of which is sublimated into well crafted, honest lyrics and raw, liberating songs” (Italian Music Review)  “Sophisticated yet really fucking raw – “Bitten by the Devil” contaminates us with roots, jazz, blues and hints of Scottish folk. Emma’s sublime and untamed vocals unite distant worlds as we journey through her rhythmic rebirth album.” (Prince Faster) Released in May 2018, the album was independently written and arranged by the band and subsequently picked up by the British label Freshly Squeezed. Positively oozing with guests and collaborators it includes platinum-selling Raphael Gualazzi (piano), Gabriele Evangelista (double bass), Antonio Gramentieri & Grammy Winner Gene Paul.
