About

Multi award winning Scottish folk singer Emily Smith is a leading figure of the Scottish folk scene. As a songwriter Emily has been likened to ‘a Scottish Joni Mitchell’, but is equally adept at presenting fresh and evocative interpretations of traditional material.

From Dumfriesshire in South West Scotland, Emily grew up only a few miles from Ellisland Farm, once the home of Scotland’s national bard Robert Burns whose work Emily acknowledges as a big element of her musical heritage. Emily plays piano and accordion but it’s her outstanding voice which has gained her a stream of awards throughout her career including ‘BBC Radio Scotland’s Young Traditional Musician of the Year’in 2002, USA Songwriting Competition Winner in 2005, ‘Scots Singer of the Year’ at the Scots Trad Music Awards in 2008 and more recently two nominations at the 2012 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards for ‘Folk Singer of the Year’ and ‘Best Traditional Track’for her song ‘Sweet Lover of Mine’ from her album ‘Traiveller’s Joy’.
