EMMA JUNE BAND has been through many different iterations but at the core, the project has always been about the same thing: creating a space for creative expression, community building, and empowerment. The band is comprised of Emma Ayres who howls and strums the guitar, Zoe Young’s milky harmonies, Abbie Duquette’s electric bass and beauteous rasp, and Abby Kahler’s rich fiddle and honey bear vocals. The lady-powered quartet is committed to bringing you their new EP Breadwinner in the new year. This 5-track EP will be recorded with Andrew Oedel of Ghost Hit Recording. As Ani DiFranco says “..art is why I get up in the morning.” This music keeps us going. Once the production process is complete, the band will be embarking on an East Coast tour to support their new release bringing their tunes to a stage near you.

If you donate to the “Breadwinner” campaign you become a co-producer of the EP. You can listen to the music knowing that your donation is what brought it to life, and for that we are forever grateful. This is the second indiegogo campaign that EMMA JUNE BAND has launched in the past four years. Our goal is to be as self sustaining as possible. “Afraid I Can’t Swim” was brought to your ears in 2014 by your generous donations, in 2018 “Graduate” was financed entirely by EMMA JUNE BAND...and now in 2019 let’s bring “Breadwinner” to our tables!
EMMA JUNE BAND is founded on do it yourself principles. If we don’t make our desired fundraising goal, we are resourceful and will make ends meet. Don’t be afeard! Your donation will lead to the promised outcome. We understand that everyone isn’t in a place to donate at this time. WE GET IT. Here are some other ways you can help:
