TLT Lates: Emma Miller + Arbouring
Join us on Friday 20th March for the next event in our live music series, The Long Table Lates, with Emma Miller and Arbouring!
Scottish songstress Emma Miller has long been touted for her spellbinding voice and poignant lyricism. Her music is relational, real and deeply layered. Originally from just above the Highlands in north east Scotland, there’s a subtle Celtic inflection in her tone and delivery that only adds to the depth of her songwriting.
With influences ranging from teenage years listening to Imogen Heap and Joni Mitchell to discovering voices like Kate Bush, Annie Lennox and Sarah McLachlan, it’s Miller’s unique blend of powerful melodies, deeply personal songwriting and crystal clear, bell-like vocals that make her a truly captivating artist and performer. Cult magazine CLASH noting "her folk-hewn work has blossomed into something remarkable” and BBC 6 Music's Tom Robinson proclaiming her vocals as "rich as a Belgium truffle”.
Support for the evening comes from Stroud based folk duo Arbouring

As songwriter and poet, she has also produced scores for several British short films and has toured North America and the Middle East, performing throughout the UK. Currently based in London, UK, Anna’s latest album LEV was produced by Voka Gentle’s Ellie and Imogen Mason, and mixed by Marcus Hamblett, mastered by Harris Newman, and features Rob Pemberton (The Staves, Rachel Dadd, Willie Mason) and Joanne Clara (Roo Panes) among others.
