About Me

EMILY JANE have now completed recording their debut album entitled 'THE LITTLE SONG THAT COULD'. This was recorded at Chris Gray's 'Graylabel Studio' whilst EJ simultaneously gigged their funky arses off in the Newcastle and Sydney regions as well as squeezing in a cheeky European tour.
Their music has been described as an eclectic mix of pop / folk rock with a soul / funk edge! They like to call it Pop/Rock...but that's up to you to decide. The versatility of the song writing team has meant their music ranges from eulogistic statements; political and socio-political themes; everyday narratives to meaningless trashy pop. As a live act, you can expect to hear expertise, experience and professionalism in the music however, humour and enthusiasm is always a key asset.
EMILY JANE have performed in Newcastle venues such as The Civic Theatre, The Band Room and The Lass O'Gowrie. Sydney venues include The Basement, The Slide Bar, The Hard Rock Café, The Excelsior and The Sando to name but a mere few.
EMILY JANE have won the ABC Newcastle Music Award for the most competitive category; Adult Contemporary, with their song, MISS YOU. They were also nominated for the Rock category with their 80s inspired track, WAKE UP.
