Emily Grove is that missing link between folk balladry, singer-songwriters, and uptempo pop grooves. But her upcoming record will mark one of the biggest changes yet in her career. The alt-folk artist is somewhat of a local hero in Asbury Park, NJ, releasing her debut record ‘Way Across the Sea’ to critical acclaim last year, where she picked up two Asbury Music Awards for Best Female Acoustic Act. I know whenever I’ve seen her perform on Jersey shore boardwalks, there’s always a crowd close by. Preview her upcoming record below where she takes an unexpectedly dark turn, and see her in Jersey when she releases new full-length ‘The Life of a Commoner’ next Friday, March 28th. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
