Worcestershire band play home performance with new album
12 November 2022
Last night (11/11/22), Emma Howett and her band performed at The Marr's Bar, Worcester, with her latest album 'Super Awkward'.
The band were full of energy, which rubbed off onto the crowd, consisting of long-time fans, and first-time listeners. The atmosphere was good, with many people having drinks and jamming to the music.
Like previous gigs I have attended at the small Worcester venue, I sat at the back, so I could see both the crowd and the stage and take in the atmosphere of anticipation.
Emma's voice reminded me of Blondie's Debbie Harry and that early 1980's sound. The band consists of vocals, bass guitar, and keytar (very 80's!).
I asked Emma where she gets her inspiration from, and she said "I love Blondie, and female acts and artists. Classic inspiration for me is people like Jodie Mitchell, and really early Elvis Costello."
The audience interaction was among the best I have experienced for a long time, and I felt included in the performance.
All the songs she performed were taken from her latest album 'Super Awkward', which is available on all streaming platforms, including CD!
I asked Emma why she chose to release the album on CD, replying "I've hand-drawn the covers of the CD's, I brought three of them with me tonight, and I've already sold two of them.
"So, everyone is unique. I did a photoshoot for the album using an old Polaroid, and each Polaroid photograph I've drawn around."
Emma Howett and her band are amazing local musicians, and I look forward to hearing more of the band's music in the future.
