EMMA LOUISE ANNOUNCED AS MAIN SUPPORT FOR JOSH PYKE
June 24th, 2011 | By
After recently returning from a national sold out tour with folk-rockers, Boy & Bear, songstress emma louise has been announced as the main support for Josh Pyke’s Only Sparrows Album Tour. Following radio favourite ‘Jungle’, her second single ‘Bugs’ will be released nationally to mark the occasion.
To say it’s been a dream start for this talented young lady is certainly an understatement. Her debut EP Full Hearts & Empty Rooms was released on April 15, entering the AIR Independent Distro charts at number one, where it remains after eight weeks (at time of writing). In addition, her EP has also graced the number one spot of the iTunes singer songwriter charts.
And, it’s not just in Australia that she is kicking goals! Her debut single ‘Jungle’ was featured as ‘Single of the Week’ by tastemaker radio station, 3FM in the Netherlands leading to a swell of European industry interest.
Emma, a long time fan of Josh Pyke, is extremely excited about the invitation to tour alongside him. “Josh Pyke was the soundtrack to high school for me. I never thought that I’d be supporting him one day. He’s one of Australia’s best” Emma enthuses. It looks as though the rave reviews that surfaced throughout Boy & Bear’s tour are set to continue, with her live show as captivating as ever.
Before stepping out in September on the Only Sparrows Album Tour, emma louise has her own run of shows officially launching her EP in Queensland and Northern New South Wales.
“Brisbane-based front girl emma louise created one of those swirling internal effects, as if you were dancing inside your mind while your body remained completely still. The songs shared a very consistent mood, yet instead of growing tired, the set seemed to have the opposite effect of hastening toward a close.”- Fasterlouder
“It won’t be long before Emma Louise is held in the same esteem as other great Australian female artists, such as Sarah Blasko and Julia Stone. For now though, the crowd is happy to keep emma louise as their own little secret. As she plays her final song, the radio hit Jungle, I feel that I have gotten my money’s worth and the night isn’t even getting started.” – AAA Backstage
