Berklee is known for pushing out a certain type of musician. The school is usually associated with the jazz-influenced, folk set you’ve heard in graduates like Julienne Dweck and Jen Hirsch. With Emily Greene however, something different found its way through the guitar and voice lessons. Unlike her peers, Greene’s songs work their way through to you on a much more visceral level, not unlike the how the ladies from Lucius do it, Emily’s old college roommates and go-to collaborators. In performance, ideas are thrown together and batted around until they work themselves into a frenzy. Broadcast through Emily’s powerhouse pipes and washed down with her intimate lyrical range, her shows are not a typical classroom experience. Come out and see what I mean when Emily supports Malaysian artist Yuna at SOB’s on Dec 11th. – Mike Levine (@goldnuggets)
