Emily Braden with Misha Piatigorsky

Love Songs for Valentines Day

“With a new album currently in the works, Emily Braden is electrifying NYC and international audiences with her fresh, soulful sound and powerful stage presence. “Winner of New York City’s ‘Best of the Best’ Jazzmobile Vocal Competition, this Harlem-based vocalist keeps her feet planted in the jazz tradition while being fearless in her exploration of the human voice. Her original music, co-created with producer and pianist Misha Piatigorsky, blends heavy grooves and carefully-crafted lyrics with soaring vocals and off-the-cuff bilingual improvisations. No two shows are the same. See Braden live and she’ll make you a believer.”
