Not a Barbie Doll, not a bra-burner, and not just another sweet girl with a guitar. Emily Lord is Heartland Rock: think Bob Seger meets Mary Chapin Carpenter. And yes, this lady has a great voice, too. Emily Lord is a modern woman inspired by the folk sounds of her New England home and the rock and roll of America's heartland. As one recent review explained, "This is what [Melissa] Etheridge wishes she could do." With RearView Mirror, Emily joined the ranks of songwriting legends Carole King, Ani Difranco, and Shawn Colvin by recording with producer-engineer Mark Hallman at the Congress House Studio in Austin, Texas. Songs from RearView Mirror earned two West Coast Songwriters Association Best Song Awards, commercial radio play, and inspired a San Francisco Bay Area production team to select her as their new music video company's featured artist. More than just a songwriter, Emily's diverse background provides a wealth of experiences that inspire her intelligent lyrics. Emily released her first album of original music entitled Beginnings while attending the University of Notre Dame. Beginnings quickly gained the attention of Chicago area music fans, selling 2,000 albums in just six months. In addition to creating music during her undergraduate years, Emily also studied overseas in Spain, graduated magna cum laude with a double major, and received the Army ROTC Program's top leadership award on her way to earning an officer's commission. Her diverse accomplishments as a student inspired Notre Dame's Public Relations Department to name her one of their "Most Intriguing Seniors." Following college graduation, Emily certified as a US Army Airborne Paratrooper and served as a US Army Officer in Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and Texas, all while continuing to perform her music at USO shows for her fellow service members. After completing her service obligation, Emily moved to San Francisco where she currently works as a full-time singer-songwriter promoting her critically acclaimed album, RearView Mirror.
