“

There’s a great groove to the new single… At the heart of ‘Roma’ is the drums and bass delivering a slow, pulsing rhythm that makes you want to move and sway. Over this strong foundation, Emory’s tuneful vocal and the winding electric guitar combine to create a memorable, melodic song, with catchy hooks and a hummable chorus.”

About the band

Frontman Louis Emory is a singer/songwriter based in Troy, New York – just an hour north of Woodstock, where The Band – one of his many classic rock influences – wrote their debut album, Music from Big Pink.

More than fifty years later, Emory would have never imagined he’d be working on his debut EP with one of the album’s engineers, renowned producer, audio engineer and mixer Shelly Yakus.

With a small collective of New York musicians — The Reckless Few — the crew fused their individual sounds to deliver Love Italy, their forthcoming six-track project EP; an ode to a place that reignited Emory’s creative flame, set for release on Friday, October 21.
