Emily Hill (NL)

EMILY HILL
Emily Hill is the band fronted by the talented 23-year-old singer Emmelien. They say that good things come quickly, and in this case, it’s partly true. Despite her young age, Emmelien has been “warming up” for several years, with performances ranging from school stages to Rabo Jazz Amersfoort. However, her rise to fame has recently seen a significant acceleration.

In her hometown of Amersfoort, she performed at the “Flirting With The Blues” festival in October 2021, and since then, she has graced an increasing number of venues across the country. From cozy, intimate pubs to larger pop venues like the Bosuil in Weert, Emmelien has captivated audiences everywhere. Even internationally, she has caught the attention of connoisseurs. In October 2023, Emily Hill participated in the Dutch Blues Challenge, earning praise from Haarlems Dagblad for their “smashing performance.”

What makes her unique? See her perform, and you’ll understand. Soul, blues, jazz, funk, New Orleans, and gospel all blend seamlessly in her singing, delivered with an ease that belies her years. Her performances are lively and joyful, filled with dancing and playful flirtation, though she doesn’t shy away from delivering a poignant ballad. Her original songs resonate with the experiences of a 23-year-old, and she is supported by a rock-solid band—seasoned musicians who elevate her music while also being swept up by her incredible talent.

In 2023 and 2024, Emily Hill is spreading her wings even further, with performances scheduled across the country. From festivals and support acts to cafes and even a performance at Town Hall, Emily Hill is a breath of fresh air you won’t want to miss. Come and experience it for yourself!
