About Me

Emily Tessmer’s new release promises to be lush and lyrical. “This project will be my third solo CD and will be a departure from my previous releases sonically because we will be incorporating a variety of world rhythm/instruments and some Sanskrit chanting” . Poignant, soulful and resonant, Emily’s all original songs marry her vocal and songwriting talents with healing. The listener can hear Emily’s experiences from veritable lifetime’s pouring through her soul to page.Emily has worked with the best in the music business on her previous solo releases (Reach Toward The Sky 2002, and Luminarium 2008). From Noel Golden, Doug Messenger, and Erik Eldenius to Davey Farragher, Toshi Yanagi and Pete Thomas. Emily has enjoyed working with many world-class musicians and magicians. She currently resides in Northern California and enjoys playing live In The Village At Squaw Valley, The International Center For Spiritual Living, Tahoe Yoga and Wellness Center as well as various other festivals and many other California, and Midwestern venues. She looks forward to touring in Europe later this year.Prior to her solo accomplishments Emily and her former band worked in studio on a production deal funded by MCA, headlined at the Veenhoop Festival (Holland), played Los Angeles’s Troubadour, and opened for diverse artists including Gilby Clarke (Supernova), and Blue Oyster Cult. Emily has been invited to sing the National Anthem for the San Diego Padres twice at PETCO Park.Additionally Emily was commissioned by Kristen and Mike Klink (Guns N’ Roses) to write an original song for their foundation, A Song of My Own, a charity enabling singer songwriters to connect with terminally ill children. Emily wrote Annie’s song and Annie went into remission from Leukemia shortly thereafter.“I consider that song and my experience with Annie as being the true healing power of music and that is why I am here.”
