Since a chance meeting in a hostel in Barcelona in 2000, the unique acoustic magic of Ember has delighted audiences all over the world - from California to Mexico, Ireland to Spain. Now based in Wales, where they have recorded all four of their albums, Ember has been compared to Indigo Girls, The Be Good Tanyas, Simon and Garfunkel, Tracy Chapman, Michelle Shocked, Rickie Lee Jones, and Dead Can Dance.
The simple yet moving music centers on the miraculous blending of two very different voices: that of Welsh songstress Emily Williams, who also sails through the mix with her violin and sets up chunky rhythms with her nylon-string guitar, and that of Rebecca Sullivan of Utah who fingerpicks a sparkling steel-string and breaks out the harmonica for a song or two. Engaging and humorous performers, Emily and Rebecca build a natural repartee with the audience - in true troubadour style. Hecklers are always welcome!
