Emily Tessmer: Bio

Dear Friends,

Music is the light of my life. I have been writing, recording and performing music for 17 years with much love and dedication. In addition to songwriting/producing I also enjoy singing my favorite inspirations, which span 4 decades, and I am passionate about leading sacred chanting gatherings, which are also known as Kirtans.

Spirituality has always been the backbone of my musical experience, expression and expansion.

I just completed my latest release entitled “The Seven Sisters” which features a taste of all the directions the river is carrying me in these days ~ original compositions, sacred music and inspirations from some of my musical foremothers/forefathers. I believe that we are living in very special times where sharing your light with the world is of the utmost importance. Music is the language of the heart, which transcends all time and space, and with a gentle hand can remind one of their divine essence. Music is the mother of all science..

Winter I will be embarking upon a new project of which all the material is already written for.
I am hoping to finish the new release by Spring of 2011..

Here are a few of the places I have played:
