Emily Laliotis at Lagunitas

mily Laliotis (she/her) is channeling the femme troubadours of the past with wit and grace. An award-winning Folk/Americana Singer-Songwriter based in LA, Emily’s “mature and feminine voice” [UndergroundHK] captivates listeners— “she is singing with the intelligence and soul of someone beyond her years.” [solcofn] Listeners glimpse Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell, Laura Marling and Brandi Carlile in her timeless, deft vocals. Straddling the old and the new, her songs tell personal stories of struggle, growth, and joy. Emily commands song form by using and breaking traditional structures, and her training in classical voice, Byzantine chant, musical theater, and Greek folk music influence her creative process. Drawn in by her voice, you will find yourself mesmerized by the way that Emily Laliotis makes you feel.

In 2018, she received the the Delwen and Genevieve Jones Award given to outstanding student musicians. Emily was a Concerto Aria finalist (2018) and has been recognized by NATS in multiple categories (2015, 2016). Her composition for Sarah Ruhl’s play, “Eurydice” was honored with a National Youth Arts award for Outstanding Original Music (2013) and she won Greeks Got Talent in 2011.
