SUMMARY:Light The Way – Honest Songs From Two Storyteller Queens
DESCRIPTION:Juliet and Emma will take to the stage with original songs, covers, and words, delivering a sense of community, togetherness, an uplift for women, artists, the LGBTQ+ community, and minority groups who are saddened, anxious, vulnerable, frightened, victimized, or feeling unheard during these current times. Juliet and Emma will share their message of hope, inclusiveness, love, and joy. Both women will share their own harrowing experiences of personal abuse and the life-altering moments that have shaped their own courage and determination for a shared better future.  \n\n \n\n\nJuliet states, “For me, the ‘Light The Way’ tour embodies the divine power & magic that takes place when two empowered women come together through the supernatural healing power of music, with a shared intention to raise the vibration, inspire and uplift others. There’s so much darkness and chaos out there, and I think we both deeply desire to transform the current energy through honest songwriting and authentic performance. We have also both rebuilt ourselves from painful past times, we have both been through our own metamorphosis, and we both hope to inspire other women & independent female songwriters who wish to be liberated & empowered, with our truth, art & storytelling.”\n\n\n \n\n\nEmma states,” This tour is all about the power of women. I believe that when women are healed and allowed to shine, they tend to light the way for other women to do the same. That’s what we want to do on every stop of this tour, with every song we sing and eve\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJuliet Hawkins Bio:\nJuliet Hawkins, a captivating vocalist and songwriter based in Los Angeles, California, intertwines her personal journey of pain, pleasure, and radical self-acceptance into her original music. With a rich, genre-bending style that encompasses blues, country, swing, and pop, Juliet’s music resonates with a poetic and provocative allure, encouraging listeners to embrace freedom of thought. Her voice, as iconic as it is beautiful, promises to never conform, standing out alongside classics by Marvin Gaye and Amy Winehouse. A seasoned solo performer by way of Nashville, Juliet has found her musical home in the cultural landscape of California, captivating audiences with a raw, authentic live energy. Juliet’s repertoire includes reimagined classics like Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train” and The Righteous Brothers’ “Unchained Melody”, where her unique tone and approach breathe new life into familiar tunes.\nEmma Jo Bio:\nOn her new LP ‘Girl Bandit’, Kansas City songstress Emma Jo deftly blends heartland rock and glossy country into a signature sweet Americana. Her voice, all silk and woodsmoke, weaves confidently through shimmering reverb and stomping bass, buoyed by a top-flight band laying in the groove. Yet, for all the polish and poise, this isn’t a “cute blonde goes to Nashville to become a country star” record. Girl Bandit is both an ode to empowered femininity and an imploration to grab the reins and re-write your own story. Your personal truth is out there, and Emma Jo stands ready to soundtrack your own journey of self-discovery.\nRaised in Kansas City by a mother who loved country music and a father who breathed rock & roll, Emma Jo has spent the better part of her life latching onto a deep-rooted passion for music and performing. From stealing the spotlight at age four during a local talent show, to learning guitar on an Esteban purchased from an infomercial, to releasing a full-length acoustic album titled ‘Waiting to Be Heard’ at fifteen, there hasn’t been a moment when this gal wasn’t living and breathing melody. Following high school, Emma paused her music career to pursue a higher education, earning her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in history.\nIn the fall of 2017, Emma Jo was utterly shaken by the tragic passing of her father by suicide. She had studio time booked, and reassured concerned loved ones and compatriots that more than anything he would have wanted her to go make a record. Using the opportunity as a form of therapy, she released ‘Brave’ six months later.\n\n\n\n
