In the music of Emily Arin, you are provided a door-cracked glimpse into the songwriter’s tragedy, which may feel a bit uneasy at times as you become witness to one’s heartache. However, its honesty provides insight bringing you to a more comfortable plane of understanding as her genteel voice assures you that she’s okay. She’ll survive, and be a better person for it. And in that instant, you realize that you will be too. Sorrow finds hope springing from the plucks and strums of her acoustic guitar that lays a scenic backdrop for her tales. Arin will be sharing her experiences tonight at PhilaMOCA for Tuesday Tune-Out as well as a movie about gypsy music. PhilaMOCA, 531 12th St., 8pm, $5, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
