..Emily Lichter was the kid in high school who beseeched you to listen to that one great tune on her walkman, talking up the songs musical merits and key lyrics all the while. Years later, Emily is still talking about her favorite music, though these days its often on the phone with friends and associates spread out across the country.After several years of work in New York City at Sacks & Co. and Rykodisc, Emily left the city to start her own publicity firm in Western Massachusetts. Public Emilys home office among the beautiful old mill buildings of Easthampton, MA allows the company to offer professional and engaged publicity and management services for record labels, independent artists and musicians at a rate greatly reduced from city-bound firms.Since 2001, Public Emily has spearheaded publicity campaigns for artists including Andrew Bird, Sandra Bernhard, Bruce Cockburn, Amy Rigby, Hamell on Trial, Dan Bern, Melissa Ferrick, Mark Geary, Janis Ian, Kinnie Starr, Kelly Joe Phelps, Mary Gauthier, Chris Whitley, Kris Delmhorst, Winterpills, Patty Larkin, Sean Hayes, Crooked Still, Garrison Starr, Richard Shindell, Catie Curtis, and many others as well as independent labels Signature Sounds, Righteous Babe Records, and Rounder Records and The Iron Horse Entertainment Group. Public Emily also handles anything and everything involving Erin McKeown, Eleni Mandell, Winterpills, and Allison Miller's burgeoning careers.We offer hourly consulting, and are always looking for new projects - please contact us at
