CTMG Song of the Fortnight by Emily Hearn: Maybe
If I've ever questioned why I take the time to listen to all the CD's people give me of their family members, Emily Hearn is the answer. I received a very rough demo of the song "Maybe" from her Aunt Mary Gordon and thought there might be something there. Emily and I put this version together with the help of Hank Futch and Gary Greene from the Occasional Milkshake. It's one of the first songs she ever wrote, and this is the first real recording she's made. This Junior from the University of Georgia has gone on to record an amazing five-song EP called PAPER HEART. I highly recommend

Show Review: Emily Hearn at the Music Farm by Last Thursday night Music Farm of downtown Charles
Last Thursday night Music Farm of downtown Charleston played host to Emily Hearn with M.T.’s Saltwater Sound and Tyler Boone as the opening acts. Emily Hearn, a native of Griffin, Georgia, was playing at Music Farm to share and promote her newly released record Red Balloon. She began the set with “Not Walkin’ Away” from the new album. Other songs she played from the record include “Love Charade (Uh Oh)”, “New Orleans”, “Fall”, “Can’t Read Your Mind”, and a ridiculously amazing acoustic version of “Like Ships Need The Sea,” the harmonies provided by her bassist and guitarists were near-perfect. If Emily’s voice were a portrait, the harmonies would be the frame surrounding it. She played an adorable song written about “the boy that used to sell [her] peaches” when she worked at a peach stand during a hot Georgia summer as well as “Rooftops,” an awesome nostalgic romp, the video for which was filmed in Charleston with Bill Murray as a guest star. Emily also performed a few covers, all of which were outstanding. She put her own spin on “Best of You” by Foo Fighters, taking the fast-paced rock track and successfully turning it into a haunting, wistful ballad. Emily performed this as a condition set by the guys accompanying her on stage, humorously explaining that they only agreed to play with her if they covered a rock’n'roll tune. She also tackled The Dixie Chicks’ “Wide Open Spaces,” which she blew out of the water. The cherry on top of this trio of covers was her rendition of “The Scientist” by Coldplay. Never before has there been such a variety of genres so successfully covered by one musician in one set. All in all, Emily Hearn is a force to be reckoned with. She has the face of an angel and the voice to go right along with it. Her music is so relatable and true to life; while listening to her sing it’s difficult not to feel whatever emotions the song carries with it. Some of her songs have the power to make you feel like crying into your favorite pillow but others make you feel like going on a bike ride, making s’mores, or playing Monopoly with your best friend. Emily Hearn has the potential to land high in the ranks of female singer/songwriters with the likes of Ingrid Michaelson and Sara Bareilles, and judging by the show that she put on last Thursday at Music Farm there is no doubt in my mind that she can make it there.

One Track Mind: Emily Hearn, "Maybe" by
Maybe we would fall in love," Hearn finally decides, "if we weren't so afraid to fall.

Emily Hearn: Paper Heart by
I've probably listened to this EP more than any other independent release this year. Filled with songs about young love & close friendships, you get the feel of a young girl stepping away from her small town roots and growing into the woman she wants to become. But it's her voice that stands out, its unique rawness feels vulnerable yet powerful - sure to catch the ear of any fans of Joni Mitchell & Patty Griffin.
