About

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 work on his debut EP with one of the album’s engineers, renowned producer, audio engineer and mixer Shelly Yakus.

With his longtime studio backing band, The Reckless Few, Emory's 2022 debut EP Love Italy earned critical acclaim from both The New York Times (who included the single “Roma” in The Morning Spring 2023 Spotify playlist) and former Rolling Stone editor Ben Fong-Torres (who played it on his Moonalice Radio show).

In 2026, Emory released his follow-up EP, The Siege, a bold and unflinching collection that marks a turning point in both sound and perspective. Rooted in the spirit of classic American rock, the record turns inward, grappling with identity, resilience, love, loss, and the pressures of an uncertain world.

If Love Italy was a journey outward, The Siege is a reckoning within.

“Louis Emory has the melody, the words, and is now! I believe he is one of the most promising unsigned artists of our time.”
